Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane in the liquid phase by reacting hydrofluoric acid with 1,1,1-trichloroethane and/or 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane. The selectively is improved by using a perfluoroalkanesulphonic acid, in particular trifluoromethanesulphonic acid, as a catalyst.
