Abstract

A process for producing tetrafluorophthalic anhydride, which comprises chlorinating tetrachlorophthalic anhydride to obtain 3,3,4,5,6,7-hexachloro-1-[3H]-isobenzofuranone, then fluorinating it to obtain 3,4,5,6-tetrafluorophthaloyldifluoride and/or 3,3,4,5,6,7-hexafluoro-1-[3H]-isobenzofuranone, and further reacting the tetrafluorophthalolyldifluoride and/or the hexafluoro-1-[3H]-isobenzofuranone with an inorganic base or an organic acid to obtain tetrafluorophthalic anhydride.
