DEHYDROFLUORINATION PROCESS TO MANUFACTURE HYDROFLUOROOLEFINS

摘要

Disclosed is a process for the manufacture of hydrofluoroolefins of the structure CF3CH=CHY, wherein Y can be Cl or F, comprising reacting at least one fluoropropane reactant of the structure CF3CH2CYXH, wherein X and Y can independently be either F, Cl, or Br, with a basic aqueous solution in the presence of a non-aqueous, non-alcoholic solvent, and in the absence of a phase transfer catalyst.
