funnel a mixture of 50 ml of bis [2(2-methoxyethoxy) ethyl] ether and 140 g of zinc dust, which had been treated with 100 ml of hydrochloric acid while suspended in acetone, filtered, and dried under vacuum for 4 h, was gently heated to about 60 °C with stirring. To this mixture was added 200 g (0.5 mol) of 4,6,7trichloroperfluoroheptene-1 with continued stirring. Heating was increased until refluxing was observed, then discontinued until addition was complete. The mixture was then gently refluxed for 1 h and permitted to cool to room temperature. The heptene and heptadiene were removed from the mixture by attaching a series of dry ice acetone-cooled traps to the condenser and applying a vacuum of less than 1 mm of mercury to the system. The solvent did not distill. The mixture of heptene and heptadiene was distilled at 75 mm. Three fractions were collected, between 35 and 45, between 45 and 50, and between 50 and 70 °C. A vapor-phase study showed the first fraction to be two-thirds heptadiene and two lower boiling components. The 45-50 fraction was almost pure heptadiene, while the 50-70 fraction contained small amounts of heptadiene and two higher boiling components. Above 70 °C virtually pure starting material was recovered. About 10 percent of the starting material remained in the solvent, and upon distillation of the solvent was converted into tar. Approximately 60 g of dechlorination products was estimated to be the desired heptadiene, or about 35 percent conversion on each dechlorination. The starting material was recycled.

The purest fraction obtained from distillation was run through a vapor-phase chromatograph and was found to contain trace amounts of all other dechlorination products. These trace materials were carefully removed through preparatory-scale vapor-phase chromatography before any attempt to polymerize or telomerize the compound was made. The pure heptadiene boiled at 112 °C/760 mm, which compares well with Park's 103°/633 mm.

2.2. Preparation of Perfluoropentadiene

Preparation of Sodium 3,5,6-Trichlorooctafluorohexanoate. In a 4-liter beaker, 320 g (8 mol) of sodium hydroxide was dissolved in 2 liters of water. The solution was vigorously stirred and 2915 g (8 mol) of 3,5,6richlorooctafluorohexanoic acid was added. The soluion became very viscous, but there was no precipitate. Chilling produced no precipitate, so the solution was poured into a clean vacuum desiccator and evaporated

near dryness by using an infrared lamp and an aspiator. The salt became syrupy, buttery, and then waxy. ut did not crystallize. The salt was then dried at 10-2 am (dry ice acetone trap) for three days. Water (500 l) was removed, and the wax became a white, crystalne material. Drying was continued for two more days, ith removal of water (200 ml), and the crystals became fine. apparently amorphous, rather hygroscopic

owder.

3,5,6-Trichlorooctafluoro

Pyrolysis of Sodium hexanoate. 3,5,6-Trichlorooctafluorohexanoate (2.2 kg) was pyrolyzed under reduced pressure in a stainless steel tube connected, through adapters, to a series of cooled traps (dry ice acetone) and heated to approximately 350 °C in a furnace controlled by two 10 A, variable transformers. Pyrolysis took place smoothly, yielding 1520 g of products (theoretical yield, 1600 g). This was 95 percent based on the salt. The product was carefully distilled through a 10-in glass column packed with glass helices. A fraction boiling at 91 °C was collected as the desired product. It amounted to 1360 g (85%. based on the acid salt).

ANAL. Caled. for CCF: C, 21.2%; Cl, 25.1%; F, 53.7%. Found: C, 21.0%; Cl, 24.8%.

In the same distillation, a second fraction was obtained, boiling at 120 °C. This amounted to 145 g (9% based on the acid salt). The remaining material would not distill at atmospheric pressure, and was assumed to be a coupling product. No further effort was made to characterize it. The 120 °C fraction showed three peaks on a gas-liquid chromatogram, and a deep, split band between 5 and 6 μ in its infrared spectrum. This appeared to be a mixture of the isomers of trichloroheptafluoropentene. This was supported by the elemental analysis and by conversion into a mixture of a three monochloroheptafluoropentadienes.

ANAL. Calcd. for CCF7: C. 20.3%; Cl, 35.2%. Found: C, 20.1%; Cl, 34.9%.

Dechlorination of 4,5-Dichlorooctafluoro-1-pentene. Dechlorination was effected by a slight variation of the method of Park and Lacher [4]. In a beaker, 130 g (2.0 mol) of powdered zinc was suspended in acetone, and 100 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added slowly with stirring. Stirring was continued for 30 min. The zinc was filtered off with suction, washed thoroughly with acetone, dried briefly in air, and then overnight in a vacuum oven at 70 °C. This activated zinc was placed in a 500-ml, three-necked flask (equipped with an efficient stirrer, a dropping funnel, and a 6-in glass column packed with glass helices and topped by a still-head) and 200 ml of bis[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl] ether was added. Stirring was commenced, and the flask was heated (Thermowell heater) to 70 °C. 4,5-Dichlorooctafluoro-1-pentene (284 g, mol) was added in small portions until the reaction started, and then dropwise until addition was complete, Perfluoropentadiene distilled out of the column at about the same rate as the pentene was added. The rate of addition of the pentene and the heat applied to the flask were so controlled that the temperature of the distillate never exceeded 40 °C. The yield of crude pentadiene was 194 g (91%); this was distilled through a 10-in glass column, packed with glass helices, yielding a pure product, boiling at 36 °C, that showed one major peak (and two minor peaks with 1% and 0.3% of the area of the major peak) on an analytical gas-liquid chromatogram. The yield of pure compound was 160 g (89%). Recovered starting material (34 g) was recycled. Its infrared spectrum showed a single band at 5.6 μ, the band being somewhat broader and more intense

than that of the parent compound. Elemental analysis Through the third neck 1830 g (16.0 m) of chloroconfirmed the composition of the diene.

ANAL. Calcd. for C5F8: C, 28.3%; F, 71.7%. Found: C, 28.1%; F, 70.9%.

Dechlorination of Trichloroheptafluoropentene Fraction. The dechlorination procedure described for the preparation of perfluoro-1.4-pentadiene was repeated. A 60 g (0.2 mol) portion of the trichloroheptafluoropentene fraction was added to the flask containing the high-boiling ether and activated zinc. During the dechlorination, the distillate came over below 70 °C. The crude yield was 42 g or 92%. Upon careful distillation at 65 °C, 39 g of a mixture of monochloroheptafluoropentadienes was obtained, which was 85 percent based on the pentene; 5 g of starting material was recovered and recycled.

ANAL. Calcd. for C5CIF7: C, 26.3%; Cl, 15.5%; F, 58.2%. Found: C, 26.6%; Cl, 15.2%; F, 58.1%.

In an 800-ml stainless steel bomb 100 g (1 m) of tetrafluoroethylene and 162 g (1 m) of iodine monochloride was shaken at room temperature for 24 h. The contents were removed from the bomb, shaken with aqueous sodium bisulfite, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and distilled. The yield was 200 g of clear liquid boiling at 56 °C or 76.5 percent based on either reagent.

Addition of Iodine to Tetrafluoroethylene. In a 1400ml bomb was placed 254 g (1.0 m) of I2 and 210 g (1.0 m) of CF2Br2. Through a vacuum line 100 g (1.0 m) of tetrafluoroethylene was distilled into the bomb. The bomb and its contents were rocked for 2 days at room temperature without diminution of pressure. The temperature was raised to 100° for 16 h and shaking was continued. The bomb was cooled to room temperature and the internal pressure was found to have decreased from 150 psi to atmospheric. A solution weighing 450 g was transferred from the bomb to a distilling flask. From this solution 140 g of dibromodifluoromethane and 40 g of iodine were recovered. The product, 1,2-diodotetrafluoroethane amounted to 210 of a purple liquid boiling at 112 to 113 °C or 62.1 percent based on the tetrafluoroethylene.

Addition of Iodine Monochloride to Chlorotrifluoroethylene. A 12-liter three-neck flask equipped with a stirrer and dropping funnel was placed in a constant temperature bath set at -10 °C and fastened securely. Into it was poured 5000 ml of clean dry methylene chloride. Dropwise 2500 g 15.4 mol of iodine monochloride was added. The dropping funnel was replaced with a dry ice acetone-cooled condenser.

trifluoroethylene was distilled directly from the cylin der. Stirring and gentle refluxing of the ethylene was continued for six weeks. The flask was then removed from the bath and permitted to warm to room temperature. The unreacted ethylene was distilled into a dry ice acetone-cooled trap and saved for the next run. The contents of the flask were removed, the methylene chloride distilled and the product was fractionated through a 10-in column packed with helices. The forecut consisted of two fractions boiling at 46 °C and 54 °C. The desired product, CF2CICFCII, boiling at 101 °C amounted to 3100 g or 72.6 percent based on the iodine monochloride which was not chemically pure. A considerable quantity of iodine remained in the reaction flask.

Addition of Iodine Monochloride to Chlorotrifluoroethylene. In a 1400-ml steel bomb was placed 1000 g (6.2 m) of technical grade iodine monochloride. The bomb was cooled to -196° using liquid nitrogen and into it was distilled 727 g (6.25 m) of chlorotrifluoroethylene. The bomb was permitted to warm to room temperature while rocking. It was then rocked for 65 h at room temperature. At the end of this period the contents were removed, shaken with aqueous sodium bisulphite and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The amount of crude product was 1510 g or 88 percent based on the impure iodine monochloride. Distillation produced a forecut boiling below 50 °C and 1415 g of product boiling at 101 °C or 82.5 percent based on iodine monochloride. This product was found to be a mixture of isomers CF CICFCII and CF2ICFC12. but was largely the latter.
