Patent number: 6316681
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane. This method includes a first step of fluorinating 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene in a liquid phase by hydrogen fluoride in the presence of an antimony compound as a catalyst, or a second step of fluorinating 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene in a gas phase by hydrogen fluoride in the presence of a fluorination catalyst. If the first step is taken, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane can be produced with a high yield. If the second step is taken, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane can continuously be easily produced. Therefore, the second step is useful for an industrial scale production thereof. According to the invention, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene may be produced by a method including a step of reacting 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride in a gas phase in the presence of a fluorination catalyst. This method is useful, because yield of 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene is high.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane. This method includes the steps of (a) adding hydrogen fluoride to 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene in the presence of an addition catalyst to obtain 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-3-chloropropane; and (b) disproportionating the 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-3-chloropropane into the 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane and 1,1,1-trifluoro-3,3-dichloropropane, in the presence of a disproportionation catalyst. This method is a useful method for producing 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane in an industrial scale, because its steps (a) and (b) are respectively superior in selectivity and yield. According to the invention, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene may be produced by a method including a step of reacting 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride in a gas phase in the presence of a fluorination catalyst. This method is useful, because yield of 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene is high.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane. This method includes a step of adding hydrogen fluoride to 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene in a liquid phase in the presence of a hydrohalogenation catalyst. This method is a useful method for producing 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane in an industrial scale, because yield of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane is high. According to the invention, 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene may be produced by a method including a step of reacting 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride in a gas phase in the presence of a fluorination catalyst, or by another method including a step of reacting 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene with hydrogen fluoride in a gas phase in the presence of a fluorination catalyst. According to the invention, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene may be produced by a method including a step of reacting 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride in a gas phase in the presence of a fluorination catalyst.
