Vinyl fluoride is an organic halide with the chemical formula C2H3F. It is a colorless gas with a faint ether-like odor. It is used as the monomeric precursor to the fluoropolymer polyvinylfluoride.

Production

[edit]

It was first prepared in 1901 by Frédéric Swarts, the Belgian chemist who was the first to prepare chlorofluorocarbons in 1892. Swarts used the reaction of zinc with 1,1-difluoro-2-bromoethane. It is produced industrially by two routes, one being the mercury-catalyzed reaction of acetylene and hydrogen fluoride:[2]

HC≡CH + HF → CH2=CHF

It is also prepared from 1,1-chlorofluoroethane:

CH3CHClF → CH2=CHF + HCl

Safety

[edit]

Vinyl fluoride is classified as an IARC Group 2A carcinogen (likely to cause cancer in humans).

Additional data

[edit]

Its critical point is at 54.8 °C (328 K) and 5.24 MPa. Its molecular dipole moment is 1.4 Debye and heat of vaporization is 361 kJ/kg.
