A process is provided for the chlorination of aliphatic hydrocarbons containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms using hydrogen chloride as the source of chlorine. The process comprises reaction steps operated in tandem in separate zones. First, an unsaturated aliphatic fluorocarbon is oxychlorinated to give the corresponding saturated perchlorofluorocarbon and water, and second, the saturated perchlorofluorocarbon is reacted in the vapor phase with a hydrocarbon to produce the desired chlorinated hydrocarbon.
