Abstract

A method of preparation for 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) wherein the first process gives mainly 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze) by reacting 1-chloro-3, 3,3,-trifluoropropene (1233zd) with hydrogen fluoride in the gas phase and subsequently the second process gives 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) by reacting 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze), separated as a component that does not contain hydrogen chloride from crude products obtained by the first process, with hydrogen fluoride in the gas phase. To provide a process that is capable of preparing economically HFC-245fa which does not require the separation of HFC-245fa and 1233zd.
