Abstract
This invention provides a method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, which is a precursor of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, in two or three reaction steps, using at least one chlorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane, 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoropropane, and 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene as a starting material, the reaction products of at least two of the steps being supplied to the same distillation apparatus to subject the products to a separation operation simultaneously. With this method, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, which is a precursor of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, can be efficiently produced with reduced energy and equipment costs in an economically advantageous manner.
