Process for preparing 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene
The present application provides a process of preparing 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene, comprising reacting 3-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoropropane with a base in an aqueous solvent component in the absence of a phase transfer catalyst.
1. A composition comprising:
i) between about 0.1 to about 0.1 mol % 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane (254fb); and
ii) about 70% or greater 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (1243zf).
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233xf).
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises 3-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoropropane (253fb).
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,3-dichloropropane (243db).
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a catalyst.
6. The composition of claim 4 further comprising 1233xf.
7. The composition of claim 6 further comprising 244bb.
8. A composition comprising:
i) from about 0.01 to about 0.1 mol % 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane (254fb);
ii) 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (1243zf); and
iii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of 243db, 1233xf and 244bb.
