PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF FLUORINATED HYDROCARBONS

摘要

This invention is a process for the selective preparation of fluorinated hydrocarbons from chlorinated hydrocarbons while minimizing formation of oligomeric and polymeric by-products. The process comprises providing a liquid phase containing chlorinated hydrocarbon, HF, a tin catalyst, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of metal and nonmetal alkoxides, and heating the mixture and isolating the fluorinated hydrocarbon formed.
