Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene including subjecting, in the absence of a catalyst, at least one chlorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of chloropropane represented by formula (1): CClX2CHClCH2Cl, wherein each X is the same or different and each represents Cl or F, chloropropene represented by formula (2): CClY2CCl?CH2, wherein each Y is the same or different and each represents Cl or F, and chloropropene represented by formula (3): CZ2?CClCH2Cl, wherein each Z is the same or different and each represents Cl or F, to a reaction with hydrogen fluoride under heating in a gas phase. According to the present invention, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFC-1233xf) can be effectively prepared by an easy and economically advantageous process that is suitable for industrial scale production.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene represented by the chemical formula: CF3CCl?CH2, comprising mixing a fluorine-containing alkane, in a liquid state, represented by the formula: CF3CH—ClCH2X, wherein X is halogen, with an aqueous solution containing at least one metal hydroxide selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydroxides and alkali earth metal hydroxides in the presence of a catalyst to perform a dehydrohalogenation reaction of the fluorine-containing alkane. According to the present invention, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233xf) can be obtained at a very high yield at a relatively low reaction temperature.

Abstract: Provided is a process for the production of a fluorine-containing block copolymer, which suppresses the formation of a homopolymer as a by-product and which, regardless of whether the chain transfer constant of the iodine end is large or small, achieves nearly 100% conversion into a block copolymer. The process is characterized by reacting (A) a fluorine-containing polymer which has an iodine atom or a bromine atom at either or both terminals of the backbone chain and/or at a side-chain terminal with (M) a radical-polymerizable monomer in the presence of (C) a sulfur compound represented by general formula (2): (Y1)nH2-nS2O4 (wherein Y1 is a mono- or di-valent metal ion or an ammonium ion; and n is an integer of 0 to 2).
