A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALKYL TRIFLUOROACETATES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18578134 titled 'A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ALKYL TRIFLUOROACETATES

The present invention involves a process for producing alkyl trifluoroacetates by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with an alkyl alcohol in an aqueous solution, with the alkyl trifluoroacetate being separated from the reaction medium through direct rectification.

  • Alkyl trifluoroacetates are produced by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with an alkyl alcohol in an aqueous solution.
  • The separation of alkyl trifluoroacetates from the reaction medium is achieved through direct rectification.
  • The process allows for the recovery of trifluoroacetic acid in the form of alkyl trifluoroacetates from aqueous waste-water streams of preceding chemical transformations.

Potential Applications: - Chemical manufacturing industry for the production of alkyl trifluoroacetates. - Environmental remediation for the recovery of trifluoroacetic acid from waste-water streams.

Problems Solved: - Efficient production of alkyl trifluoroacetates. - Recovery of trifluoroacetic acid from aqueous waste-water streams.

Benefits: - Cost-effective production process. - Environmentally friendly by recycling trifluoroacetic acid.

Commercial Applications: "Process for Producing Alkyl Trifluoroacetates: Market Implications and Commercial Uses"

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in the production of alkyl trifluoroacetates and the recovery of trifluoroacetic acid from waste-water streams.

Questions about the Process for Producing Alkyl Trifluoroacetates: 1. How does the direct rectification process contribute to the efficiency of separating alkyl trifluoroacetates? 2. What are the environmental benefits of recovering trifluoroacetic acid from waste-water streams?


Original Abstract Submitted

A process for producing alkyl trifluoroacetates The present invention relates to a process for producing alkyl trifluoroacetates by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with an alkyl alcohol R—OH in an aqueous solution, and wherein the alkyl trifluoroacetate is separated from the reaction medium by means of direct rectification. In one aspect the present invention relates to a process for recovering trifluoroacetic acid in the form of alkyl trifluoroacetates from aqueous waste-water streams of preceding chemical transformations.
