Abstract: A method for producing 1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene according to the present invention includes the step of reacting 1,1,2,3,3-pentachloropropene with a fluorinating agent where hydrogen fluoride is used as the fluorinating agent.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a liquid composition containing: 80 mol % to 99.9999 mol % of (Z)-1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1223Z) and 0.0001 mol % to 20 mol % of (E)-1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1223E). The liquid composition has small impact on the global environment and exerts azeotrope-like properties. Therefore, the composition of the liquid composition is not substantially changed even when the liquid composition is used in an open system or used for a long period. The composition of the liquid composition is also rarely changed even when the liquid composition is recovered by distillation. Therefore, the liquid mixture according to the present invention can be used suitably as a cleaning agent (a solvent).

Abstract: An azeotropic-like composition containing 2-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene is provided. The azeotropic-like composition according to the present invention is non-flammable, has little influence on the environment, and has substantially the same composition ratio in the liquid phase and the gas phase. By use of an azeotropic-like composition according to the present invention, a washing detergent, a solvent, a silicone solvent, a foaming agent, a coolant, a heating medium for a heat pump, and a high temperature working fluid that are non-flammable, have little influence on the environment, and have substantially the same composition ratio in a liquid phase and a gas phase thereof may be provided.

Abstract: A liquid composition according to one embodiment of the present invention contains 0.0001 mol % to 40 mol % (Z)-1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1223Z) and 99.9999 mol % to 60 mol % (E)-1,2-dichloro-ethylene (t-DCE). The liquid composition has less influence on the global environment and azeotropic (or azeotrope-like) properties. There occurs practically no composition change even when the liquid composition is used in an open system or used for a long term. Further, it is less likely that there will occur a composition change even when the liquid composition is recovered by distillation. The liquid composition is thus suitably usable as a cleaning agent (solvent). In particular, the liquid composition of 90 mol % or less of t-DCE is classified as non-hazardous under the Fire Serves Act.
