Method of making hydrofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons

摘要

A method of producing hydrofluorocarbons and/or hydrochlorofluorocarbons by using halogenated alkanes as a principal reactant. Generally, the method comprises the step of: (a) reacting a starting halogenated alkane corresponding to the formula (I):wherein X is independently fluorine or chlorine, with a hydrohalocarbon adduct in the presence of a catalyst to form a hydrofluorocarbon and/or hydrochlorofluorocarbon.
