The present invention provides a process for purifying a (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene composition (OF-1233E composition) in which at hydrogen fluoride and 2-chloro-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane are contained by bringing the (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene composition into contact with a weak base and a method for producing (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene composition by distilling the (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene composition obtained by such a purification process. This makes it possible to efficiently produce OF-1233E by removing the hydrogen fluoride from the OF-1233E composition, without generating any new component difficult to separate by distillation, and subjecting the resulting composition to distillation.

Method for producing (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene

Disclosed is a process for producing 2-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1224), including a first step of separating 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane (234da) into erythro form and threo form, and a second step of bringing the separated erythro form or threo form in contact with a base to obtain 2-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1224). The first step is a step of separating 234da by distillation to achieve a separation into a fraction containing mainly erythro form and a fraction containing mainly threo form. In the second step, 1224 cis form is obtained from the erythro form, and 1224 trans form is obtained from the threo form. By this process, it is possible to selectively and efficiently produce cis form or trans form of 2-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1224).

To provide a process for producing anhydrous hexafluoroacetone from hexafluoroacetone hydrate. To provide a process taking environment into consideration, that does not require a treatment of wastes, such as waste sulfuric acid, containing organic substances, which is inevitable in processes conducted hitherto using concentrated sulfuric acid, fuming sulfuric acid, and the like. A process for dehydrating a hexafluoroacetone hydrate, comprising introducing a hexafluoroacetone hydrate and hydrogen fluoride either as a mixture or separately into a distillation column, obtaining a composition containing hexafluoroacetone or a hexafluoroacetone-hydrogen fluoride adduct and hydrogen fluoride as a low boiling component, and obtaining a composition containing water and hydrogen fluoride as a high boiling component.
