Abstract
Abstract Process for producing oxygenated organic compound comprising continuously flowing into and admixing in a reaction chamber at least two separate streams comprising reactive fluorine in the form of fluorine or a fluorine compound readily decomposable into free fluorine, an organic compound containing at least one replaceable hydrogen atom, and oxygen, said reactive fluorine being introduced into said chamber in a stream separate from said organic compound; permitting said reactive fluorine, oxygen, and organic compound to react flamelessly to form said oxygenated organic compound; and continuously removing from said chamber the products formed by the admixture and reaction of said continuously flowing streams.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 30
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A process for producing organic peroxides comprising: a. continuously flowing into and admixing in a reaction chamber at least two separate streams comprising fluorine in an amount comprising less than 50 volume % relative to the total volumetric amount of fluorine plus oxygen injected into the reaction chamber; an alkane in vapor form having from two to six carbon atoms; and oxygen; said oxygen being flowed separately from said fluorine and alkane streams or admixed with at least one of said streams; b. promotiing turbulence within the continuously flowing reaction stream produced by said continuous flowing and admixing of said at least two separate streams; c. permitting said fluorine, oxygen and alkane to react flamelessly to form said oxygenated organic compound; d. continuously removing from said chamber the products formed by the admixture and reaction of said continuously flowing streams; and e. said oxygen being in an amount sufficient to react with said alkane to produce organic peroxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A process for producing organic peroxides comprising: a. continuously flowing into and admixing in a reaction chamber at least two separate streams comprising fluorine in an amount comprising less than 50 volume % relative to the total volumetric amount of fluorine plus oxygen injected into the reaction chamber; an alkane in vapor form having from two to six carbon atoms; and oxygen; said oxygen being flowed separately from said fluorine and alkane streams or admixed with at least one of said streams; b. promotiing turbulence within the continuously flowing reaction stream produced by said continuous flowing and admixing of said at least two separate streams; c. permitting said fluorine, oxygen and alkane to react flamelessly to form said oxygenated organic compound; d. continuously removing from said chamber the products formed by the admixture and reaction of said continuously flowing streams; and e. said oxygen being in an amount sufficient to react with said alkane to produce organic peroxide.
