Abstract: Processes for producing Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene and intermediates for producing same. A process for producing 2-chloro-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutane comprises contacting 1,1,2,4,4-pentachlorobuta-1,3-diene with HF in the liquid phases. A process for producing E-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene comprises contacting 2-chloro-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutane with base. A process for producing 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutane comprises contacting E-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene with a chlorine source. A process for producing 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butyne comprises contacting 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutane with a base. A process for producing Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene comprises contacting 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butyne with hydrogen and a catalyst.
