Method for preparing heptafluoroisobutyronitrile by gas-phase catalysis

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of preparing heptafluoroisobutyronitrile by a gas-phase catalysis. The method includes removing one water molecule from heptafluoroisobutyramide gas to obtain heptafluoroisobutyronitrile by a catalyst. The catalyst includes an oxide of a siderophile element, and the siderophile element includes a moderately siderophile element or a highly siderophile element. The moderately siderophile element is selected from the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, tin, gallium, and any combination thereof, and the highly siderophile element is selected from the group consisting of osmium, iridium, ruthenium, rhenium, titanium, and any combination thereof. In the present disclosure, the catalyst is utilized for catalytic dehydration, a cost is low, a water waste, a gas waste and a solid waste are less, a gas-phase continuous reaction can be achieved, and the method is suitable for industrial production. Furthermore, the catalyst has a high catalytic activity and a long catalytic life.
