CFC-114
1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane is a chlorofluorocarbon also known as CFC-114a or R114a by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers.Deiters Ulrich K Some remarks on the nomenclature of refrigerants Fluid Phase Equilibria May 1997 132 1–2 265–270 10.1016/S0378-3812(96)03232-3 1997FlPEq.132..265D It has two chlorine atoms on one carbon atom and none on the other. It is one of two isomers of dichlorotetrafluoroethane, the other being 1,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane, also known as CFC-114.
Formation
1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane can be made free from other isomers by reacting trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-113 or CFC-113a) with antimony pentachloride.Gumprecht William Henry Longoria John Mark Christoph Frank J. Process for manufacture of 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane https://patents.google.com/patent/EP0426343A1/en en 8 May 1991 Trichlorotrifluoroethane can also be reacted with sulfur tetrafluoride or dichlorodifluoromethane with aluminium fluoride catalyst to yield 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane. The use of aluminium in the catalyst favours the asymmetric molecules.Bozorgzadeh H Kemnitz E Nickkho-Amiry M Skapin T Winfield J.M Conversion of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane to 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane and 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane over aluminium-based catalysts Journal of Fluorine Chemistry January 2001 107 1 45–52 10.1016/S0022-1139(00)00350-X 2001JFluC.107...45B
It can also be made in a reaction of tetrachloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride and chlorine, but this results in a mixture.
Fluorinating 1,2-dichlorodifluoroethylene with fluorine produces a small amount of 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane, but mostly tetrachlorotetrafluorobutene and some other chloroflurocarbons, so is not a good way.Haszeldine R. N. 849. Fluoro-olefins. Part I. The synthesis of hexafluorobuta-1 : 3-diene Journal of the Chemical Society (Resumed) 1952 4423 10.1039/JR9520004423
Properties
1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane has a close boiling point (3.6°C) to the isomer 1,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane (3.8°C), and so is difficult to separate by distillation.10.1246/cl.1994.571 Determination of 1,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC-114) Concentration in the Atmosphere 1994 Chen Limin Makide Yoshihiro Tominaga Takeshi Chemistry Letters 23 3 571–574 Also in a gas chromatograph, it is hard to distinguish from the symmetric 1,2 isomer.
Critical properties include critical temperature 145.7°C, critical pressure 4.92 MPa and critical density of 0.82 g/ml.Bruno Thomas J. Spectroscopic Library for Alternative Refrigerant Analysis 1990 U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology https://books.google.com/books?id=PuI9AQAAIAAJ&dq=%221,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane%22&pg=PA1 en 25–27
1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane does not ignite in air.
Reactions
1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane reacts with hydrogen when heated at 300 to 600°C with a palladium catalyst in a hydrodechlorination. The main reaction product is 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, but also 1-chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (CF3CHClF) and 1,1,1-trifluoroethane are formed.Karpinski Zbigniew Early Kintu d'Itri Julie L. Catalytic Hydrodechlorination of 1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane by Pd/Al2O3 Journal of Catalysis December 1996 164 2 378–386 10.1006/jcat.1996.0394
1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane reacts with alkali metals, alkaline earths and aluminium.
When heated with hydrogen over a nickel catalyst, 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane is dechlorinated with replacement by hydrogen to yield a mixture of CF3CHClF and the dimer CF3CClFCClFCF3.Tomioka Satoshi Mori Tohru Ueda Wataru Morikawa Yutaka Ikawa Tsuneo A Novel Hydrodechlorinative Dimerization of Chlorofluorocarbons over Supported Ni Catalysts Chemistry Letters October 1991 20 10 1825–1826 10.1246/cl.1991.1825
Use
CFC-114a was used in aerosol propellants, blowing agents, and in polyolefin foams. There was also use in refrigerants. Production was banned in by the Montreal Protocol.
CFC-114a is a possible intermediate in the production of HFC-134a which can be produced by hydrogenation.Suh Dong Jin Park Tae-Jin Lee Byung-Gwon Park Kun-You Synthesis of HFC-134a by isomerization and hydrogenation Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering January 1996 13 1 75–81 10.1007/BF02705892 97614597

The radiative efficiency is 0.28 Wm−2ppb−1. Global warming potential in 20 years is 6750. The atmospheric concentration of CFC-114a is not usually measured separately from CFC-114 due to difficulties in distinguishing them apart.
In 1978 atmospheric levels of CFC-114a were 0.35 ppt. By 2020 the level was up to 1.13 ppt.Western Luke M. Vollmer Martin K.

The atmospheric natural destruction of CFC-114a is by reaction with atomic oxygen, or breakup by ultraviolet light. As of 2014 about 250 tons per year of CFC-114a were being put into the atmosphere.
