Usage

General Description

2,3-Dihydroxy-1,1,1-trifluoropropane, also known as trifluoropropylene glycol, is a colorless and odorless chemical compound. It is a fluorinated alcohol with the molecular formula C3H5F3O2 and is often used as a solvent in various industrial applications. Due to its high boiling point and low volatility, it is commonly used as a heat transfer liquid and an intermediate in the production of fluorinated compounds. It is also used as a blowing agent in the production of foam insulation and as a refrigerant in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Additionally, it is used as a processing aid in the production of plastics and as a solvent in the extraction of natural products.

Preparation method for coproduction of 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2-propylene glycol and 4-trifluoromethyl ethylene carbonate

The invention discloses a preparation method for coproduction of 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2-propylene glycol and 4-trifluoromethyl ethylene carbonate. The method includes the steps of: 1) in the presence ofa hydrogen halide solution and organic alkali, performing a reaction to 3,3,3-trifluoroepoxypropane and CO2 at 70-180 DEG C and under 0.1-5 MPa, after the reaction is finished, crude products of the 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2-propylene glycol and 4-trifluoromethyl ethylene carbonate are produced; and 2) separating and purifying the crude products to obtain the target products, 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2-propylene glycol and 4-trifluoromethyl ethylene carbonate, wherein the usage amount of the hydrogen halide is 0.5-20% of the molar weight of the 3,3,3-trifluoroepoxypropane and the usage amount of the organic alkali is 0.5-20% of the molar weight of the 3,3,3-trifluoroepoxypropane. The method has gentle reaction conditions and simple operations, is good in atom economy, and is adjustable in product distribution. The method is mainly used for coproduction of the 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2-propylene glycol and the 4-trifluoromethyl ethylene carbonate.
