  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING FLUORINATED ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20160039729
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing fluorinated organic compounds, including hydrofluoropropenes, which preferably comprises converting at least one compound of Formula (I): C(X)3CF2C(X)3??(I) to at least one compound of Formula (II) CF3CF?CHZ??(II) where each X and Z is independently H, F, Cl, I or Br, said process preferably not including any substantial amount of oxygen-containing catalyst in certain embodiments. Preferably Z is H.

  • Gas phase synthesis of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene from 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene
    Patent number: 8324436
    Abstract: A multi-step process for preparing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene comprising the steps of (a) contacting a starting material comprising 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of activated first catalyst selected from the group consisting of antimony-halides, iron-halides, titanium halides, and tin-halides, to produce an intermediate composition; and (b) contacting said intermediate composition with a second catalyst of activated carbon to produce a final product comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene.
