Tertiary perfluorocycloamines (TPFCAs) of general formula (1) n n n where n=1 or 2, m=2 or 3, n X is n n n wherein at n=2 n X is n n n as the basis for gas transport emulsions. n TPFCAs comprise a group of compounds which are close in their physicochemical properties to perfluoro-N-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-piperidine, particularly in the critical temperature of dissolution in hexane, and which are used in a mixture, forming a number of compounds with gradually varying characteristics. Owing to this, a greater homogeneity of the fluorocarbon phase is achievable in the emulsions and it becomes possible to enhance the stability of the emulsion particles stabilized by an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer, with the absence of toxicity for large animals. A mixture of TPFCAs is prepared by electrochemical fluorination of n-piperidinoheptafluorotoluene in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The use of this mixture of TPFCAs instead of individual perfluoro-N-(4-methylcyclohexyl) piperidine simplifies, speeds up the process for preparing perfluorinated organic compounds, makes it cheaper, and provides conditions for broader application of gas transport emulsions based thereon. |
