Conversion of chlorofluororopanes and chlorofluropropenes to more desirable fluoropropanes and fluororopenes
View Patent ↗A process is provided comprising contacting and reacting the compound CF 3 CF 2 CHXCl, wherein X is H or Cl, or the compound CF 3 CF═CXCl, wherein X is H or Cl, with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of Cu, Ru, Cu—Pd, Ni—Cu, and Ni—Pd, to obtain as a result thereof reaction product comprising hydrofluoropropenes or intermediates convertible to said hydrofluoropropenes, notably CF 3 CF═CH 2 and CF 3 CH═CHF.
1. A composition comprising a reaction product and at least one intermediate convertible to the reaction product wherein the reaction product comprises CF 3 CF═CH 2 and CF 3 CH═CHF, and the intermediate comprises CF 3 CF 2 CH 2 Cl.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the intermediate further comprises CF 3 CF═CHCl.
3. The composition of claim 1 further comprising CF 3 CF 2 CHCl 2 .
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the composition consists essentially of intermediates that are convertible to the reaction product.
5. A composition consisting essentially of CF3CF═CH2, CF3CH═CHF and CF 3 CF 2 CH 2 Cl.
