Process for preparing trifluoroacetyl fluoride

摘要

The invention relates to the preparation of trifluoroacetyl fluoride by reacting trichloroacetyl chloride with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride in the gaseous phase on a catalyst which is obtainable by reacting a water-soluble chromium (III) salt with magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide in the presence of water, converting the reaction mixture into a paste, drying the paste and treating it with hydrogen fluoride.
