Abstract
A method of producing 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane in a characteristic process in which tetrafluorochloropropene is first obtained from the dechlorofluorination (removing ClF) of 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoro-3,3-dichloropropane and/or 1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoro-1,3-dichloropropane by hydrogen in the presence of a metal oxide catalyst and then the product olefin is fluorinated in the presence of a catalyst. By this method, 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane, which is useful as an action fluid and so on and has a property to help preserving the environment, and an intermediate in its synthesis can be easily produced at low cost.
