Abstract
1-Chloro-2,2-difluoroethylene was prepared from 1,2,2-trichloro-1,1-difluoroethane by reductive dechlorination in the presence of zero-valent zinc. Eleven different solvents were investigated and the best results were obtained in methanol, dimethyl formamide and ethanol at 80 °C. A large-scale experiment using ethanol as a solvent gave 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethylene in high yield. These results provide a method for producing 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethylen e on an industrial scale because 1,2,2-trichloro-1,1-difluoroethane is the waste material arising from 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane production. These results can also provide a method for solving the recycling problem of 1,2,2-trichloro-1,1-difluoroethane in 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane production.
Reductive dechlorination in methanol, dimethyl formamide, and ethanol at 80°C effectively synthesizes 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethylene, offering a method for industrial scale production and waste recycling.
