The invention discloses a preparation process of perfluoro-2-methyl-3-
pentanone, belonging to the technical field of preparation methods of perfluoroketone compounds in the field of organofluorine
chemistry. The perfluoro-2-methyl-3-
pentanone is obtained by performing an epoxidation reaction and a catalytic
isomerization reaction on perfluoro-2-methyl-
pentene serving as a
raw material in sequence. The preparation process comprises the following steps: I, in a continuous
liquid phase epoxidation reaction, mixing a corresponding proportion of aprotic polar
solvent into a
sodium hypochlorite solution to promote the reaction, increase the
raw material conversion ratio and increase the
reaction rate at least by 2-3 percent, wherein the step is characterized by easiness and convenience in operation, low
equipment requirement and high reaction equipment efficiency; II, performing a continuous
gas phase catalytic reaction, wherein the application of a
solvent is effectively avoided, the cost and environmental
pollution are lowered, the problems of the need of separating the
solvent from a product in post-treatment, difficulty in recycling and treating the solvent and a catalyst, and the like are solved, and the product can be refined and purified more easily. The preparation process has the advantages of high process
automation degree, easiness and convenience in operation, high product purity and high reaction equipment efficiency, and is suitable for industrial application.
