Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for preparing perfluoromethyl vinyl ether. BACKGROUND

[0002] Perfluoromethyl vinyl ether (PMVE) is an important monomer for the synthesis of fluororubber and fluoroplastic, and has a wide range of uses in the development of new fluorine-containing polymers with excellent comprehensive performance due to its special structure. In addition, PMVE can also be used to produce new non-toxic and efficient insecticide, bifenthrin, also known as dimilin.

[0003] The research on the synthesis method of PMVE began in the 1950s. So far, the reported synthesis methods can be divided into two types according to their key raw materials: 1) perfluoro-2-methoxypropanoyl fluoride is prepared from carbonyl fluoride and hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO), and the latter is prepared into PMVE by a thermal cracking method with a catalyst and an alkali metal salt; or carbonyl fluoride and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) or chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) are used as raw materials to prepare PMVE by one-pot method. 2) trifluoromethyl-1,2-dichlorotrifluoroethyl ether is prepared from trifluoromethyl oxyfluoride (CF3OF) and 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dichloroethylene, and the latter is prepared into PMVE by zinc metal dechlorination or catalytic hydrogenation dechlorination method. Method 1) involves the use of carbonyl fluoride, which is highly toxic, and there are safety hazards in its production and use. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a safe and low-toxic raw material intermediate that can replace carbonyl fluoride to prepare PMVE. Method 2) involves the use of CF3OF, which is expensive and dangerous due to the use of F2 in its preparation method. Meanwhile, CF3OF is highly reactive and toxic, and there are also safety hazards in its use. Therefore, the technical route based on CF3OF is not an ideal method for preparing perfluoromethyl vinyl ether. In summary, it is still of practical significance to explore new technical solutions for preparing perfluoromethyl vinyl ether.

[0004] Trifluoromethyl fluorocarbonate is a key raw material for preparing low-temperature fluororubber monomer MOVE, but it is not easy to obtain. Trifluoromethyl fluorocarbonate is much less toxic than carbonyl fluoride, and its boiling point is higher than that of the latter, so it is safer and more convenient to use. It has been found that trifluoromethyl fluorocarbonate can be used as a substitute for carbonyl fluoride in some fields. The existing synthesis methods of trifluoromethyl fluorocarbonate have the following shortcomings: 1) the reaction raw materials involve flammable and explosive dangerous substances such as CO, fluorine gas and CF3OF, or some expensive reagents that are difficult to produce on a large scale; 2) the reaction selectivity is poor, the product is not easy to control, and the yield is low; 3) the reaction conditions are harsh and the product contains corrosive components, so the equipment requirements are very high. In summary, there are still great obstacles in the industrial production of trifluoromethyl fluorocarbonate, and it is still of practical significance to explore new technical solutions for preparing trifluoromethyl fluorocarbonate. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing perfluoromethyl vinyl ether, wherein the raw materials are readily available and inexpensive, the reaction conditions are mild, safe and reliable, and the yield is high.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing perfluoromethyl vinyl ethers, comprising the following steps:

[0007] A) Using the perfluoroolefin shown in Formula I as a raw material, an ozone cracking reaction was carried out, followed by separation and purification to obtain trifluoromethyl fluoroformate;

[0008]

[0009] Among them, Rf1 and Rf2 are independently selected from F, C1 to C3 perfluoroalkyl groups.

[0010] B) Trifluoromethyl fluoroformate and hexafluoropropylene oxide were reacted to give perfluoro-2-methoxypropionyl fluoride; perfluoro-2-methoxypropionyl fluoride was further decarboxylated by heat to give perfluoromethyl vinyl ether.

[0011] One of the key technical problems to be solved by this invention is to use perfluoroolefins of Formula I as raw materials for ozone cracking reaction, and then separate and purify the products to obtain trifluoromethyl fluoroformate.

[0012] Preferably, Rf1 and Rf2 are independently selected from F, CF3 or CF(CF3)2.

[0013] More preferably, the perfluoroolefin is hexafluoropropylene, perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene, or perfluoro-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-pentene.

[0014] This invention proposes for the first time the preparation of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate from perfluoroolefins represented by Formula I. The perfluoroolefins represented by Formula I generate primary ozonides during ozone oxidation and cracking, which readily crack to generate intermediate perfluorocarbonyl oxides, especially trifluorocarbonyl oxides. These trifluorocarbonyl oxides readily and rapidly isomerize to form trifluoromethyl fluoroformate. Taking the ozone cracking of perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene as an example, during the reaction, its double bonds break, with the left-hand group mainly generating heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride (i-C3F7COF), and the right-hand CF (CF3) group generating trifluoromethyl fluoroformate (CF3OCOF) or trifluoroacetyl fluoride (CF3COF). The main reaction products include trifluoroacetyl fluoride, heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride, and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate. Purification of the products by distillation yields trifluoromethyl fluoroformate. The inventors discovered that the ratio of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate to trifluoroacyl fluoride in the products can be controlled by adjusting the cracking conditions. Specifically, the content of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate and trifluoroacetyl fluoride in the pyrolysis products can be controlled by changing the reaction conditions, including the pyrolysis temperature and the amount of reaction regulator. Pyrolysis of 1 mole of perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene can generate 0.75 moles of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, while only 0.25 moles of trifluoroacetyl fluoride are produced.

[0015] The ozone decomposition reaction described above uses an ozone-oxygen mixture, wherein the ozone concentration is 1% to 50%, which is a volume concentration. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the ozone concentration in the aforementioned oxygen-ozone mixture is approximately 100 mg / L.

[0016] Preferably, the molar ratio of the perfluoroolefin represented by Formula I to the consumed ozone is 1:(0.2-8), more preferably 1:(0.2-3).

In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the temperature for the above-mentioned ozone decomposition reaction is -50℃ or 40℃.

[0018] The pressure of the above-mentioned ozone decomposition reaction is 1 to 10 kg; more preferably 1 to 8 kg, and even more preferably 1 to 6 kg.

[0019] In the above ozone cracking reaction, solvent raw materials can be added for dilution as needed, or perfluoroolefins can be directly cracked.

[0020] In the above-mentioned ozone decomposition reaction, a regulator can be added as needed to dilute the raw materials and control the composition of the product. The regulator is a proton-containing compound, including alcohols and acids. Preferably, the regulator is fluorocarbonate or fluorocarbon alcohol. More preferably, the fluorocarbonate includes trifluoroacetic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid, and heptafluoroisobutyric acid, etc., and the fluorocarbon alcohol includes trifluoroethanol, tetrafluoropropanol, pentafluoropropanol, hexafluoroisopropanol, and octafluoropentanol, etc. The mass ratio of the regulator to the perfluoroolefin is (0:100) to (80:20).

[0021] The above-mentioned ozone cracking reaction can be carried out in batch or continuous operation. The batch operation is as follows: perfluoroolefins, fluorocarbon solvents, and reaction regulators are added to the cracking reactor all at once, and then an ozone-oxygen mixture is continuously introduced at a set temperature for cracking until the perfluoroolefins are completely cracked. The continuous operation is as follows: perfluoroolefins, fluorocarbon solvents, and reaction regulators are first mixed in a certain proportion, then a portion of the mixture is added to the cracking reactor all at once, and then an ozone-oxygen mixture is continuously introduced at a set temperature for cracking, with the mixture continuously added to the cracking reactor at a certain rate during the process. The ozone cracking reaction has no special limitation on the reaction time. Preferably, for batch operation, the reaction can generally be stopped after the substrate is completely cracked; preferably, for continuous operation, the reaction can be stopped at any reaction time according to the actual needs of the reaction.

[0022] The present invention does not impose any particular limitation on the separation and purification method, which can be selected according to the boiling point of the product, such as condensation treatment based on the boiling point of the product.

[0023] Furthermore, when the raw material is hexafluoropropylene, the above method for preparing trifluoromethyl fluoroformate includes the following steps:

[0024] 1) In a dry reaction vessel, hexafluoropropylene is added, and then a mixture of oxygen and ozone is introduced to carry out ozone cracking, yielding crude products including carbonyl fluoride, trifluoroacetyl fluoride, and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate; or, in a dry reaction vessel, fluorocarbon solvent and reaction regulator are added, and then a mixture of hexafluoropropylene, oxygen, and ozone is introduced to carry out ozone cracking, yielding crude products including carbonyl fluoride, trifluoroacetyl fluoride, and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate.

[0025] 2) The crude product was separated and purified to obtain pure trifluoromethyl fluoroformate.

[0026] The equation for the above reaction is as follows:

[0027] CF2=CFCF3+(3+x) / 3O3→COF2+x CF3OCOF+(1-x)CF3COF+0.5O2

[0028] Where x = 0 to 1.

[0029] Further, in step 1) above, the molar ratio of hexafluoropropylene to ozone is 1:(0.2-8); preferably, the molar ratio of hexafluoropropylene to ozone is 1:(0.2-3).

[0030] Further, in step 1) above, the temperature of the ozone decomposition reaction is -100℃ to 100℃, more preferably -80℃ to 80℃, even more preferably -60℃ to 60℃, and even more preferably -50℃ to 50℃. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the temperature of the above ozone decomposition reaction is -50℃ or 40℃.

[0031] Further, in step 1) above, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 10 kg; preferably, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 8 kg; more preferably, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 6 kg.

[0032] Further, in step 1) above, the ozone concentration in the oxygen-ozone mixture is 1% to 50%. The ozone concentration in the ozone mixture produced by commercial ozone generators generally does not exceed 20%, and the ozone concentration in the mixture can be increased through simple concentration methods to improve the ozone decomposition reaction rate. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the ozone concentration in the above-mentioned oxygen-ozone mixture is approximately 100 mg / L.

[0033] Furthermore, in the ozone decomposition reaction, the raw material hexafluoropropylene can be diluted with solvent or other components as needed, or it can be directly decomposed. The solvent used is preferably a fluorocarbon solvent, which is preferably one or more of fluorinated hydrocarbons, fluorocarbon esters, hydrofluoroethers, and perfluoropolyethers. The fluorinated hydrocarbon is preferably CFC-113, the fluorocarbon ester is preferably ethyl trifluoroacetate, the hydrofluoroether is preferably Novec 7100, 7200, or 7500, and the perfluoropolyether is preferably Krytox GPL101, etc. The mass ratio of the solvent to hexafluoropropylene is preferably (0:100) to (80:20).

[0034] Furthermore, in the ozone decomposition reaction, a regulator can be added as needed to dilute the raw materials and control the composition of the product. The regulator is a proton-containing compound, including alcohols and acids. Preferably, the regulator is fluorocarbonate or fluorocarbon alcohol. More preferably, the fluorocarbonate includes trifluoroacetic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid, and heptafluoroisobutyric acid, etc., and the fluorocarbon alcohol includes trifluoroethanol, tetrafluoropropanol, pentafluoropropanol, hexafluoroisopropanol, and octafluoropentanol, etc. The mass ratio of the regulator to the perfluoroolefin is (0:100) to (80:20), more preferably 0% to 200% of the total mass of the perfluoroolefin, and even more preferably 5% to 100% of the total mass of the perfluoroolefin. Experimental results show that the addition of the reaction regulator increases the yield of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate from approximately 0-30% to approximately 30-70%.

[0035] Furthermore, in step 2), due to the significant difference in boiling points between carbamate, trifluoroacetyl fluoride, and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate (at -84°C, -59°C, and -35°C, respectively), the reaction products are easily separated. Typically, during ultra-low temperature pyrolysis at -50°C, the carbamate and trifluoroacetyl fluoride products are discharged with the reaction gas stream, while the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate product is retained in the reaction vessel, thus achieving separation. During pyrolysis at temperatures above the boiling point of hexafluoropropylene (-29°C), such as 30°C, the product is discharged with the reaction tail gas, first entering a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser (controlled at -60 to -40°C) to condense the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, and then stored in a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate storage tank (controlled at -55 to -35°C). The carbamate and trifluoroacetyl fluoride products are discharged with the reaction tail gas and absorbed through an ethanol absorption tank (controlled at -30 to 20°C). Preferably, the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser operates in a mode where the refrigerant and reaction products do not come into contact; more preferably, the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser operates in a mode where the refrigerant and reaction products come into direct contact. The refrigerant is preferably an inert fluorocarbon solvent such as perfluoroolefins, hydrofluorocarbons, hydrofluoroethers, and perfluoropolyethers. The obtained trifluoromethyl fluoroformate is further purified by cryogenic distillation.

[0036] Furthermore, when the raw material is perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene, the above method for preparing trifluoromethyl fluoroformate includes the following steps:

[0037] 1) In a dry reaction vessel, perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene is added, and then an oxygen-ozone mixture is introduced to carry out ozone cracking, yielding crude products including trifluoroacetyl fluoride, heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride, and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate; or, perfluoroolefins, fluorocarbon solvents, and reaction regulators are first mixed in a certain proportion, and then a portion of the perfluoroolefin, fluorocarbon solvent, and reaction regulator mixture is added to the cracking reaction vessel at one time. Then, an ozone-oxygen mixture is continuously introduced at a set temperature for cracking, and during the process, the perfluoroolefin, fluorocarbon solvent, and reaction regulator mixture is continuously added at a certain rate to obtain crude products including trifluoroacetyl fluoride, heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride, and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate.

[0038] 2) The crude product was separated and purified to obtain pure trifluoromethyl fluoroformate.

[0039] The equation for the above reaction is as follows:

[0040] i-C3F7CF=CFCF3+(3+x) / 3O3→i-C3F7COF+x CF3OCOF+(1-x)CF3COF+0.5

[0041] O2

[0042] Where x = 0 to 1.

[0043] Further, in step 1) above, the molar ratio of perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene to ozone is 1:(0.2-8); preferably, the molar ratio of perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene to ozone is 1:(0.2-3).

[0044] Further, in step 1) above, the temperature of the ozone decomposition reaction is -100℃ to 100℃, more preferably -80℃ to 80℃, even more preferably -60℃ to 60℃, and even more preferably -50℃ to 50℃. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the temperature of the above ozone decomposition reaction is -50℃, 25℃, or 40℃.

[0045] Further, in step 1) above, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 10 kg; preferably, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 8 kg; more preferably, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 6 kg.

[0046] Further, in step 1) above, the ozone concentration in the oxygen-ozone mixture is 1-50%. The ozone concentration in the ozone mixture produced by commercial ozone generators generally does not exceed 20%, and the ozone concentration in the mixture can be increased through simple concentration methods to improve the ozone decomposition reaction rate. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the ozone concentration in the above-mentioned oxygen-ozone mixture is approximately 100 mg / L.

[0047] Furthermore, in the ozone decomposition reaction, the raw material perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene can be diluted by adding solvents or other components as needed, or it can be directly decomposed. The solvent used is preferably a fluorocarbon solvent, which is preferably one or more of fluorinated hydrocarbons, fluorocarbon esters, hydrofluoroethers, and perfluoropolyethers. The fluorinated hydrocarbon is preferably CFC-113, the fluorocarbon ester is preferably ethyl trifluoroacetate, the hydrofluoroether is preferably Novec 7100, 7200, or 7500, and the perfluoropolyether is preferably Krytox GPL101, etc. The mass ratio of the solvent to perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene is preferably (0:100) to (80:20).

[0048] Furthermore, in the ozone decomposition reaction, a regulator can be added as needed to dilute the raw materials and control the composition of the product. The regulator is a proton-containing compound, including alcohols and acids. Preferably, the regulator is fluorocarbonate or fluorocarbon alcohol. More preferably, the fluorocarbonate includes trifluoroacetic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid, and heptafluoroisobutyric acid, etc., and the fluorocarbon alcohol includes trifluoroethanol, tetrafluoropropanol, pentafluoropropanol, hexafluoroisopropanol, and octafluoropentanol, etc. The mass ratio of the regulator to the perfluoroolefin is (0:100) to (80:20), more preferably 0% to 200% of the total mass of the perfluoroolefin, and even more preferably 5% to 100% of the total mass of the perfluoroolefin. Experimental results show that the addition of the reaction regulator increases the yield of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate from approximately 0-30% to approximately 30-70%.

[0049] Furthermore, in step 2) above, due to the significant difference in boiling points between trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride, and trifluoroacetyl fluoride (at -35℃, 7-9℃, and -59℃ respectively), the reaction products are easily separated. During pyrolysis at an ultra-low temperature of -50℃, a small amount of product (trifluoroacetyl fluoride) is discharged with the reaction gas stream, while most of the product (heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate) is retained in the reaction vessel. After the reaction is completed, the reaction vessel is slowly heated and distilled. First, trifluoromethyl fluoroformate is distilled off, cooled by a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser (controlled at -60 to -40℃), and then stored in a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate storage tank (controlled at -55 to -35℃). Further heating and distillation can distill off heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride, which is then condensed and stored in a heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride storage tank (controlled at -30 to 0℃). During the cracking process, trifluoroacetyl fluoride is discharged with the reaction tail gas and then absorbed by an ethanol absorption tank (controlled at a temperature of -30 to 20°C). When cracking is performed at a higher temperature above 30°C, the products trifluoroacetyl fluoride, trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, and heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride are discharged with the reaction gas stream. The three products can be separated by sequentially cooling the gas stream to near the boiling points of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate and heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride. Specifically, the reaction product gas stream first passes through a first low-temperature condenser (a heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride condenser, with its temperature controlled at -30 to -10°C) to condense the heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride and store it in a heptafluoroisobutyryl fluoride storage tank (with its temperature controlled at -30 to 0°C); then it passes through a second low-temperature condenser (a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser, with its temperature controlled at -60 to -40°C) to condense the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate and store it in a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate storage tank (with its temperature controlled at -55 to -35°C); finally, it passes through an ethanol absorption tank (with its temperature controlled at -30 to 20°C) to absorb trifluoroacetyl fluoride, generating ethyl trifluoroformate. Preferably, the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser can be used in a mode where the refrigerant and reaction product do not come into contact; more preferably, the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser can be used in a mode where the refrigerant and reaction product are in direct contact, in which case the refrigerant is preferably an inert fluorocarbon solvent such as perfluoroolefins, hydrofluorocarbons, hydrofluoroethers, and perfluoropolyethers. The obtained trifluoromethyl fluoroformate was further purified by cryogenic distillation.

[0050] Furthermore, when the raw material is perfluoro-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-pentene, the above method for preparing trifluoromethyl fluoroformate includes the following steps:

[0051] 1) In a dry reaction vessel, perfluoro-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-pentene is added, and then an oxygen-ozone mixture is introduced for ozone cracking to obtain crude products including trifluoroacetyl fluoride, trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, and perfluoro-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone; or, perfluoroolefins, fluorocarbon solvents, and reaction regulators are first mixed in a certain proportion, and then a portion of the perfluoroolefin, fluorocarbon solvent, and reaction regulator mixture is added to the cracking reaction vessel at one time. Then, an ozone-oxygen mixture is continuously introduced at a set temperature for cracking, and during the process, the perfluoroolefin, fluorocarbon solvent, and reaction regulator mixture is continuously added at a certain rate to obtain crude products including trifluoroacetyl fluoride, trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, and perfluoro-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone.

[0052] 2) The crude product was separated and purified to obtain pure trifluoromethyl fluoroformate.

[0053] The equation for the above reaction is as follows:

[0054] CF3CF(CF3)C(i-C3F7)=CFCF3+(3+x) / 3O3→i-C3F7COCF(CF3)CF3+x

[0055] CF3OCOF + (1-x)CF3COF + 0.5O2

[0056] Where x = 0 to 1.

[0057] Further, in step 1) above, the molar ratio of perfluoro-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-pentene to ozone is 1:(0.2-8); preferably, the molar ratio of perfluoro-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-pentene to ozone is 1:(0.2-3).

[0058] Further, in step 1) above, the temperature of the ozone decomposition reaction is -100℃ to 100℃, more preferably -80℃ to 80℃, even more preferably -60℃ to 60℃, and even more preferably -50℃ to 50℃. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the temperature of the above ozone decomposition reaction is -50℃, 40℃, or 70℃.

[0059] Further, in step 1) above, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 10 kg; preferably, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 8 kg; more preferably, the pressure inside the reactor is 1 to 6 kg.

[0060] Further, in step 1), the ozone concentration in the oxygen-ozone mixture is 1% to 50%. The ozone concentration in the ozone mixture produced by commercial ozone generators generally does not exceed 20%, and the ozone concentration in the mixture can be increased through simple concentration methods to improve the ozone decomposition reaction rate. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the ozone concentration in the above-mentioned oxygen-ozone mixture is approximately 100 mg / L.

[0061] Furthermore, in the ozone decomposition reaction, the raw material perfluoro-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-pentene can be diluted by adding solvents or other components as needed, or it can be directly decomposed. The solvent used is preferably a fluorocarbon solvent, which is preferably one or more of fluorinated hydrocarbons, fluorocarbon esters, hydrofluoroethers, and perfluoropolyethers. The fluorinated hydrocarbon is preferably CFC-113, the fluorocarbon ester is preferably ethyl trifluoroacetate, the hydrofluoroether is preferably Novec 7100, 7200, or 7500, and the perfluoropolyether is preferably Krytox GPL101, etc. The mass ratio of the solvent to perfluoro-3-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-pentene is preferably (0:100) to (80:20).

[0062] Furthermore, in the ozone decomposition reaction, a regulator can be added as needed to dilute the raw materials and control the composition of the product. The regulator is a proton-containing compound, including alcohols and acids. Preferably, the regulator is fluorocarbonate or fluorocarbon alcohol. More preferably, the fluorocarbonate includes trifluoroacetic acid, pentafluoropropionic acid, and heptafluoroisobutyric acid, etc., and the fluorocarbon alcohol includes trifluoroethanol, tetrafluoropropanol, pentafluoropropanol, hexafluoroisopropanol, and octafluoropentanol, etc. The mass ratio of the regulator to the perfluoroolefin is (0:100) to (80:20), more preferably 0% to 200% of the total mass of the perfluoroolefin, and even more preferably 5% to 100% of the total mass of the perfluoroolefin. Experimental results show that the addition of the reaction regulator increases the yield of trifluoromethyl fluoroformate from approximately 0-30% to approximately 30-70%.

[0063] Furthermore, in step 2) above, the reaction products are easily separated due to the significant difference in boiling points between trifluoroacetyl fluoride, trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, and perfluoro-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone. During pyrolysis at an ultra-low temperature of -50°C, a small amount of product (trifluoroacetyl fluoride) is discharged with the reaction gas stream, while most of the product (perfluoro-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate) is retained in the reaction vessel. After the reaction is completed, the reaction vessel is slowly heated and distilled to distill off trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, which is then cooled in a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser (controlled at -60 to -40°C) and stored in a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate storage tank (controlled at -55 to -35°C); while perfluoro-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone is retained in the reaction vessel. During the pyrolysis process, trifluoroacetyl fluoride is discharged with the reaction tail gas and then absorbed by an ethanol absorption tank (controlled at -30 to -20°C). Trifluoroacetyl fluoride, trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, and perfluoro-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone are separated. During pyrolysis at a relatively high temperature above 30°C, trifluoroacetyl fluoride and trifluoromethyl fluoroformate are discharged with the reaction gas stream and first enter a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate condenser (controlled at -60 to -40°C) to condense the trifluoromethyl fluoroformate, which is then stored in a trifluoromethyl fluoroformate storage tank (controlled at -55 to -35°C). Trifluoroacetyl fluoride is discharged with the reaction tail gas and then absorbed by an ethanol absorption tank (controlled at -30 to 20°C).
