CATALYTIC CHLORINATION OF 3,3,3-TRIFLUOROPROPENE TO 2,3-DICHLORO-1,1,1-TRIFLUOROPROPANE

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,3-dichloropropane which comprises contacting chlorine with 3,3,3-trifluoropropene in the presence of a catalyst to form 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,3-dichloropropane, wherein the catalyst comprises at least one metal halide, where the metal is a metal from Group 13, 14 or 15 of the periodic table or a transition metal or combination thereof.
