Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethane ("142") by fluorinating 1,1,2-trichloroethane in the gas phase with HF in the presence of a fluorination catalyst. 142 is a known foam blowing agent.
Abstract:
An uncatalyzed liquid phase process is provided for the preparation of oligomer free 1233zd via the fluorination of 1230za with a high molar excess of HF. The 1233zd is a known intermediate useful for preparing 245fa (1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane).
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (245fa) is provided, wherein 1233zd is first fluorinated to 1234ze, followed by fluorination of 1234ze to 245fa. 245fa is a known foam blowing agent and refrigerant.
