Hydrofluoroolefins and methods of using same

Abstract

A hydrofluoroolefin is represented by the following general formula (A): in which, Rf1 and Rf2 are (i) independently linear or branched fluoroalkyl groups having with 1-8 carbon atoms and optionally include one or more catenated heteroatoms; or (ii) bonded together to form a ring structure having 4-8 carbon atoms and optionally include one or more catenated heteroatoms; α is CF3, F, H; β is F or H; γ is CF3, F, CF2H, CFH2, or CH3, and the compound includes a total of 1-4 H atoms; and with the provisos that at least one of α and γ is F or H; when γ is CF3 or F, at least one of α and β is H; when γ is CH3, at least one of α and β is F, and when α is CF3, then β is H and γ is F; wherein at least one of Rf1 and Rf2 have two or more carbon atoms.
