Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic compound synthesis, and particularly to a process for synthesizing octafluorocyclobutane. Background Technology
[0002] Octafluorocyclobutane is typically a byproduct of the cracking of tetrafluoroethylene to hexafluoropropylene, accounting for approximately 10-20% of the total yield. Purification of this byproduct yields pure octafluorocyclobutane. Several specific technical solutions for the synthesis of octafluorocyclobutane have been publicly disclosed in the existing technology.
[0003] The invention patent with patent number CN 119956374 A discloses a method for preparing octafluorocyclobutane by electrolysis of dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane. Dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane is added to a mixture of potassium fluoride and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, and then heated and electrolyzed to obtain crude octafluorocyclobutane. Moisture and hydrogen fluoride are then removed using molecular sieves and an absorption tower to obtain the product. However, hydrogen fluoride in this electrolysis method is highly corrosive, difficult to separate, and has high separation costs, making it difficult to scale up the reaction process.
[0004] The invention patent CN114956950 B discloses a method for synthesizing octafluorocyclobutane using a fluorine-chlorine exchange reaction. This method involves fluorinating a Cr2O3-NiO catalyst supported on activated carbon with hydrogen fluoride, then catalyzing the reaction of hydrogen fluoride with 1,1,2,2,3,4-hexafluoro-3,4-dichlorocyclobutane to produce crude octafluorocyclobutane, which is then purified by distillation. However, this method involves complex catalyst preparation processes, a reaction temperature of 350℃~550℃, and relatively high energy consumption. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose a synthesis process for octafluorocyclobutane to solve the problems of complex catalyst preparation, high reaction temperature, complex purification, and difficulty in scaling up the reaction process in the prior art.
[0006] This invention discloses a synthesis process for octafluorocyclobutane, comprising the following steps: adding dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane and hydrogen fluoride as raw materials to a reaction vessel, and adding a catalyst to catalyze the reaction of the raw materials to generate octafluorocyclobutane, wherein the catalyst is a Lewis acid or a fluorocobaltate.
[0007] Preferably, the Lewis acid is one or more of the following: antimony pentachloride, antimony tetrafluorochloride, antimony trifluorochloride, antimony difluorochloride, antimony tetrafluoromonochloride, and antimony pentafluoride; The fluorocobaltate is KCoF4.
[0008] Preferably, the feed rate of the dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane into the reaction vessel is 116.5~210 g / h, and the feed rate of the hydrogen fluoride is 21~37.8 g / h.

[0010] Preferably, the hydrogen fluoride and the dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane are introduced into the reaction vessel after being preheated to 50-150°C.
[0011] Preferably, the synthesis reaction further includes the following steps: S2. Under the catalytic conditions of the catalyst, the gaseous material generated after the reaction of the raw materials in the reaction vessel is sent to the reactive distillation device for distillation, and the liquid material formed in the reactive distillation device is returned to the reaction vessel to form a circulating reaction. S3. The crude octafluorocyclobutane gas formed in the reactive distillation unit enters the hydrogen chloride distillation unit for distillation to obtain the product octafluorocyclobutane and the impurity hydrogen chloride gas. Then, the impurity hydrogen chloride gas in the hydrogen chloride distillation unit is discharged, and the octafluorocyclobutane is continuously collected.
[0012] The gaseous materials formed in the reaction vessel include octafluorocyclobutane, hydrogen fluoride, dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane, and heptafluorocyclobutane. After being distilled in a reactive distillation unit, the resulting liquid materials include hydrogen fluoride, dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane, and heptafluorocyclobutane. These products are then returned to the reaction vessel for further reaction, and this process is repeated. The crude octafluorocyclobutane gas formed in the reactive distillation unit consists of octafluorocyclobutane and the byproduct hydrogen chloride. This crude octafluorocyclobutane gas is fed into a hydrogen chloride distillation unit to separate the octafluorocyclobutane and hydrogen chloride. Ultimately, hydrogen chloride is discharged as an impurity gas, while octafluorocyclobutane is collected as a liquid product.
[0013] Preferably, the pressure inside the reaction device is 0.5~1.5 MPa, the condensation temperature is -10~80 ℃, the bottom vaporization temperature is 50~120 ℃, and the reflux ratio is total reflux.
[0014] Preferably, the pressure inside the hydrogen chloride distillation apparatus is 0.4~1.4 MPa, the condensation temperature is -30~30 ℃, the bottom vaporization temperature is 0~85 ℃, and the reflux ratio is total reflux.
[0015] Preferably, the synthesis process of the octafluorocyclobutane is as follows: S1. The dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane and the hydrogen fluoride, as raw materials, are preheated at 50~150 °C and then fed into the reactor at feed rates of 116.5~210 g / h and 21~37.8 g / h, respectively. 30~300g of the catalyst is added to catalyze the reaction of the raw materials. The catalyst is a Lewis acid, antimony pentachloride or KCoF4. The reaction temperature inside the reactor is 50~150℃, and the reaction pressure is 0~2.5 MPa; S2. The gaseous material generated in the reactor is sent to the reactive distillation column for distillation, and the liquid material generated in the reactive distillation column is returned to the reactor to continue the reaction, forming a cycle. The pressure inside the reactive distillation column is 0.5~1.5 MPa, the condensation temperature at the top of the column is 30~80 ℃, the vaporization temperature at the bottom of the column is 50~150 ℃, and it operates under total reflux. S3.

The pressure inside the hydrogen chloride distillation column is 0.4~1.4MPa, the condensation temperature at the top of the column is -30~10℃, the vaporization temperature at the bottom of the column is 25~82℃, and it is a total reflux column. Hydrogen chloride impurities are discharged at the top of the column, and the finished product octafluorocyclobutane is continuously collected from the bottom of the column.
[0016] Antimony pentachloride added to the reactor reacts with hydrogen fluoride to form antimony tetrachloride, antimony trifluoride, antimony trifluoride, antimony tetrafluoride, antimony pentafluoride, or a mixture of these substances. These mixtures further accelerate the catalytic reaction.
[0017] This invention synthesizes octafluorocyclobutane and hydrogen chloride from dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane via the reaction of hydrogen fluoride with Lewis acid or KCoF4 catalysts. The reaction temperature is 50-150 °C, resulting in low energy consumption. The catalytic process used in the reaction is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, and energy consumption is low. A distillation unit and reaction vessel are used in a cyclic operation, allowing the synthesis reaction and purification processes to proceed simultaneously. The removal of hydrogen chloride impurities is cost-effective, and the entire process is continuous and efficient, eliminating the need for complex hydrogen chloride removal methods.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. At the same time, the raw materials mentioned below that are not described in detail are all commercially available products; the method steps or synthesis methods not mentioned in detail are all method steps or synthesis methods known to those skilled in the art.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
[0023] Reactor 1 and reactive distillation column 2 are pre-purged with nitrogen and evacuated to remove oxygen and moisture from the system. Then, the catalyst is drawn into reactor 1 using the system's negative pressure. Hydrogen fluoride and dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane are placed in separate storage tanks. After preheating the raw materials in the storage tanks to 50–150°C, dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane and hydrogen fluoride are continuously introduced into reactor 1 using metering pumps at mass rates of 116.5–210 g / h and 21–37.8 g / h, respectively. The top condenser is activated, and reactor 1 is gradually heated to above 50°C to activate the catalyst. The reaction then takes place in reactor 1. Preheating the raw materials shortens the reaction time, maintains stable reaction, inhibits the formation of low-temperature byproducts, and improves the conversion rate.
[0024] A heating jacket is installed on reactor 1 to maintain the reaction temperature at 50~150 ℃. The reaction temperature is relatively mild, the energy consumption is low, and there are fewer by-products generated due to the high temperature, which is conducive to improving the product conversion rate.
[0025] The gaseous components octafluorocyclobutane, hydrogen fluoride, dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane, and monochloroheptafluorocyclobutane in reactor 1 enter the lower part of reactive distillation column 2 through the outlet at the top of reactor 1. During distillation, the gas in reactive distillation column 2 is condensed at the top of the column, and the resulting liquid phases of hydrogen fluoride, dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane, and monochloroheptafluorocyclobutane are refluxed back into the column and then flow back into reactor 1 for a circulating reaction. The reaction and distillation occur simultaneously. The uncondensed gases octafluorocyclobutane and hydrogen chloride are then distilled in hydrogen chloride distillation column 3 after pressure regulation. Reactive distillation column 2 has 60 trays, an internal pressure of 0~1.5 MPa, a top condensation temperature of -10~80℃, a bottom temperature of 50~150℃, and total reflux of the liquid phase.
[0026] The gas entering the hydrogen chloride distillation column 3 participates in the distillation process within the column. The gaseous phase rises to the top condenser, where it condenses to form octafluorocyclobutane, which is then refluxed back into the column. The uncondensed gas is hydrogen chloride, which, after pressure regulation, is released at the top of the column at a mass rate of 27–57 g / h. The hydrogen chloride distillation column 3 has 60 trays, an internal pressure of 0.4–1.4 MPa, a top condensation temperature of -30–30 °C, a bottom temperature of 0–85 °C, and total reflux of the liquid phase. Octafluorocyclobutane is continuously collected from the bottom at a mass rate of 75–142 g / h.
[0027] Since octafluorocyclobutane and hydrogen chloride have boiling points of -6℃ and -85℃ respectively, which are quite different, only octafluorocyclobutane will liquefy during the distillation process, while hydrogen chloride gas is difficult to liquefy. When the reflux ratio of the distillation column is set to total reflux, the vaporized hydrogen chloride is discharged at the top of the column.
[0028] The reactive distillation column 2 and the hydrogen fluoride distillation column 3 used in this experiment are experimental distillation columns. The specifications of the reactive distillation column 2 are: column height 3m and column diameter ø38*3 mm. The specifications of the hydrogen fluoride distillation column 3 are: column height 3m and diameter ø38*3 mm.
[0029] The synthesis reaction and purification are carried out simultaneously through cyclic distillation, resulting in a continuous and efficient process. Lewis acids or fluorocobaltates are used as catalysts, which are readily available, and the reaction steps are simple. The cyclic reaction improves the utilization rate of raw materials and the product yield, while the purification process uses conventional distillation methods, which are easily implemented in large-scale production processes.

After preheating the raw materials hydrogen fluoride and dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane at 50 °C, hydrogen fluoride was fed into the reactor at a rate of 21 g / h and dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane at a rate of 116.5 g / h.
