Experimental study of electrochemical fluorination of trichloroethyleneThe electrochemical fluorination of trichloroethylene in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride at 0 C and at constant cell potential was investigated. A microprocessor-aided electrochemical fluorination reactor system that yields highly reproducible results was utilized. The following major two-carbon-chain products were observed: CHCl2-CCl2F, CHCl2-CClF2, CHClF-CCl2F, and CCl2F-CClF2. The first step in the reaction sequence was determined to be fluorine addition to the double bond, followed by replacement of first hydrogen and then chlorine by fluorine. Polymerization reactions yielded higher molecular weight or possible ring-type chlorofluorohydrocarbons. A comparison of the reaction products of electrochemical and chemical fluorinations of trichloroethylene is also discussed.
