Abstract
2,2,3-trichloro-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane is used as a raw material, to which not less than 4.5 equivalent parts of hydrogen are added to effect a hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a noble metal catalyst, particularly a palladium catalyst, by the vapor phase method to manufacture 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane. Further, propane, propene, and hexachloropropene, etc. are chlorofluorinated in the presence of a metal catalyst to produce 2,2,3-trichloro-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane, then this compound is reduced with hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst to produce 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane. 2,2,3-trichloro-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane can thus be efficiently and economically produced.
