Abstract:
Phenols react with tetrafluoroethylene at normal or reduced pressure when using about 0.05 to about 0.5 mole of an alkali metal hydroxide per each equivalent of phenolic hydroxy group as a catalyst and a water-miscible polar inert solvent to yield aryl-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ethers. The products are useful as intermediates in the synthesis of dyestuffs and plant-protecting agents.
Abstract:
Tetrafluoro-ethylene can be added to monoamines having oxyethyl or oxypropyl groups in aprotic polar solvents in the presence of alkali metals. The new monoamines obtained having the radicals tetrafluoro-ethyloxy-ethyl or tetrafluoro-ethyl-oxy-propyl are electrolyzed in anhydrous hydrofluoric acid, thus forming new monoamines in which all or nearly all hydrogen atoms of the starting compounds are replaced by fluorine.
IN WHICH Rf is perfluoroalkyl of six to 12 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 4, m is 0 or 1 and x is a number of about 10 to about 300, are useful as water- and oil-repellent agents for fibrous materials, especially materials consisting of or containing cotton or wool. The agents are used in aqueous dispersions or solutions in organic solvents.
Abstract:
Perfluorinated linear or cyclic oligoamines having ether groups, useful as inert reaction media or as hydraulic liquids, prepared by the electrofluorination, in anhydrous HF, of the addition products formed between hexafluoropropene or tetrafluoroethylene and linear or cyclic oligoamines having nitrogen atoms substituted by oxyalkyl groups.
Abstract:
2-Perfluoroalkyl ethanols are obtained by reacting 2-perfluoroalkyl ethyliodides with at least the two-fold molar amount of nitric acid of about 70 to 98 percent strength and hydrogenating the intermediates, which are the nitrates of the desired ethanols. The products are useful as starting materials for the production of hydrophobic and oleophobic textile finishing agents, e.g. the polymer acrylates and methacrylates of said 2perfluoroalkyl-ethanols.
IN WHICH R1 IS PERFLUOROALKYL OF 6 TO 12 CARBON ATOMS, R IS A GROUP OF THE FORMULA -O- OR LOWER ALKYL, N IS AN INTEGER OF 1 TO 4 AND Z IS A NUMBER OF FROM ABOUT 10 TO ABOUT 100, ARE USEFUL AS OLEO- AND HYDROPHOBIC AGENTS FOR TEXTILE MATERIALS, ESPECIALLY FOR WOOL AND COTTON.
Abstract:
Trifluoroacetyl fluoride is prepared by pyrolyzing the reaction products of tetrafluoroethane and sulfur trioxide, namely 3,3,4,4-tetrafluoro-2,2-dioxo-1,2-oxathietane, 4,4,5,5tetrafluoro-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxathiolane and 2-sulfofluoridodifluoroacetyl fluoride, in the presence of aluminum oxide or charcoal, as catalyst at a temperature of 50* to 240* C. The sulfur dioxide set free as a byproduct can be recycled after reoxidation to sulfur trioxide.

POLYMERS CONTAINING RECURRING UNITS OF THE FORMULA
-CH(-NH-CO-C(-X)(-Y)-RF)-CH2-
IN WHICH RF IS PERFLUOROALKYL OF 3 TO 10 CARBON ATOMS, AND X AND Y ARE FLUORINE AND/OR HYDROGEN, ARE USEFUL AS AGENTS FOR RENDERING FIBROUS MATERIALS WATER AND OIL REPELLANT. THE LOWER OLIGOMERS ARE SOLUBLE IN LOW VOLATILE FLUORINATED HYDROCARBONS. THE POLYMERS ARE SOLUBLE IN ACETONE AND CAPABLE OF FORMING AQUEOUS DISPERSIONS.
Abstract:
2-(1''-H-HALOGENOALKYL)-$2-OXAZOLINES ARE OBTAINED BY REACTING 1,1-DIFLUOROETHYLENES WITH ETHANOLAMINE. THE PRODUCTS ARE USEFUL AS MONOMERS OR COMONOMERS FOR THE PREPARATION OF POLY-N-VINYL CARBOXYLIC ACID AMIDES, CAPABLE OF RENDERING FIBROUS MATERIALS WATER- AND OILREPELLENT.
Abstract:
A method for improving the activity of a used supported silver catalyst, used for the manufacture of ethylene oxide by reaction of ethylene with oxygen or air, which method consists essentially of: (a) impregnating said used catalyst at a temperature from 80 DEG C. to 150 DEG C. and for 0.75 hour to 10 hours with an impregnating solution containing water, a water-miscible organic solvent selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol, at least one compound of cesium, rubidium, or of cesium and rubidium in an amount providing from 50 mg to 1000 mg per kilogram of solution, said solution containing from 5 to 50 percent by weight of water; (b) separating the impregnated catalyst from excess impregnating solution; and (c) drying the impregnated catalyst.
