Abstract

This invention provides a method capable of efficiently producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf) with a recycling step using substantially a single reaction step. A method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), comprising a reaction step of reacting at least one chlorine-containing starting compound selected from the group consisting of chlorine-containing alkanes represented by formula (1): CX2YCHClCH2Z (wherein X, Y and Z independently represent H, F or Cl) and chlorine-containing alkenes represented by formula (2): CX2YCCl═CZ2 (wherein X, Y and Z independently represent H, F or Cl) with a fluorinating agent, wherein the molar ratio of the chlorine-containing starting compound represented by formula (1) or (2) newly supplied to the reactor inlet is less than 1.2 relative to 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233xf) in components obtained from the reactor outlet.
