DIRECT ONE-STEP SYNTHESIS OF TRIFLUOROMETHYL IODIDE

摘要

A catalytic one-step process for the production of CF3I by reacting, preferably in the presence of a source of oxygen, a source of iodine with a reactant of the formula: CF3R where R is -SH, -S-S-CF3, -S-phenyl, or -S-Si-(CH3)3. The catalyst may be a metal salt such as salts of Cu, Hg, Pt, Pd, Co, Mn, Rh, Ni, V, TI, Ba, Cs, Ca, K and Ge and mixtures thereof, preferably on a support. such as MgO, BaO and CaO, BaCO3, CsNO3, Ba (NO3)2, activated carbon, basic alumina, and ZrO2.
