Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of fluorinated propanes and propenes. CF 3 CH═CH 2 is produced from CF 3 CH 2 CHF 2 by the sequential steps of dehydrofluorination, a reduction, and a second dehydrofluorination in which the same catalyst is preferably used for each step. Preferably the catalysts is palladium on carbon. The process provides the steps of passing CF 3 CH 2 CHF 2 over a Pd/C catalyst to form CF 3 CH═CHF; hydrogenating CF 3 CH═CHF over a Pd/C catalyst to give CF 3 CH 2 CH 2 F; and passing CF 3 CH 2 CH 2 F over a Pd/C catalyst to give CF 3 CH═CH 2 .

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
A method for producing 1,1,1-trifluoropropene which comprises dehydrofluorinating 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane in the presence of a catalyst comprising palladium on carbon under conditions sufficient to thereby produce 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropene, and then reducing the 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropene under conditions sufficient to produce 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane, and then dehydrofluorinating 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane under conditions sufficient to produce 1,1,1,-trifluoropropene.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
47 words
A method for producing 1,1,1-trifluoropropene which comprises dehydrofluorinating 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane in the presence of a catalyst comprising palladium on carbon under conditions sufficient to thereby produce 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropene, and then reducing the 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropene under conditions sufficient to produce 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane, and then dehydrofluorinating 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane under conditions sufficient to produce 1,1,1,-trifluoropropene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein each reaction is conducted in the presence of a catalyst which comprises palladium on carbon.
