ABSTRACT:

Saturated model compounds, related to elastomers that are derived from co-polymers of CH2=CF2/CF2=CFCF3, have been synthesised and studied. Unsaturated compounds were obtained by both base- and Lewis-acid induced processes. Some reactions with antimony pentafluoride lead to remarkably stable carbocations, and even di-cations, and the nmr data for these systems is revealing about structure. Polyconjugated polymers may be obtained by this procedure. Preliminary studies are described, relating to the incorporation of crowded monomers into fluorocarbon polymers, ultimately, as a means of initiating cross-linking processes for curing elastomers.

ABSTRACT:
Some perfluoroalkylolefins are shown to undergo electrochemical one-electron reduction to the corresponding radical anions at potential values which strongly depend on the structure of the substituents. In these cases the voltammetric reduction peak is chemically reversible, and a further one-electron transfer, affording the corresponding dianions, is detected at more negative potentials. For these substrates, at appropriate temperatures, the free radical anions are stable enough to be accumulated by macroscale electrolysis and investigated by EPR. The spectra are characterized by fairly large hyperfine couplings of F-19 in alpha, beta, and gamma positions relative to the pi carbon centers and by line width effects due to restricted rotations of the perfluoroalkyl groups around the C-C single bonds. The case of tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)ethylene has been analyzed in detail, and it is concluded that the rotation motion of the four trifluoromethyl groups should be in part correlated.

Date: Apr. 7 1992

Inventors: W. Navarrini, S. Modena

ABSTRACT

A continuous process for preparing perfluoroalkenyl sulfonyl fluorides (I)

Rf-CF=CF-SO2F (I)

wherein Rf is selected from the group consisting of F and a perfluoroalkyl group of from 1 to 9 carbon atoms is disclosed, in which a perfluoroalkyl (sulfonyl fluoride) monofluoroacetyl fluoride of formula

Rf-CF2-CF(COF)SO2F (II)

is used as the starting product. The starting product is contacted with a reactant selected from the group consisting of the oxides of an element of the Groups IA, IIA, IIB, IIIA and IVA of the Periodic Table of Elements, at a temperature comprised within the range of 150 to 450 C, and the compound (I) is recovered from the reaction effluent.
