Abstract
Abstract A halogenated alkene is reacted with HF in the presence of TaF 5 or NbF 5 to produce a fluorinated alkane. Exemplary is the reaction of tetrachloroethene with HF in the presence of TaF 5 to produce 1,2,2-trichloro-1,1-difluoroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-1-fluoroethane.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
The process of contacting under substantially anhydrous conditions at a temperature range of 0° to 200° C. one mole of a halogenated olefin of the formula R.sub.1 R.sub.2 C═CR.sub.3 R.sub.4 wherein R 1 is H, F, Cl, CH 3 , CCl 3 or CF 3 ; R 2 is H, F or Cl; R 3 is H, F, or Cl; R 4 is F or Cl; in which at least two of the R groups are F or Cl; with 1 to 8 molar equivalents of HF and in the presence of 0.01 to 0.25 molar equivalents of TaF 5 or NbF 5 to produce a fluorinated alkane having one hydrogen atom over and above the number of hydrogen atoms originally present in the halogenated olefin.
