A method for producing a hydrofluoroolefin is provided. The formation of by-products of an over-reduced product having hydrogen added to a material chlorofluoroolefin and an over-reduced product having not only chlorine atoms but also fluorine atoms in the chlorofluoroolefin replaced with hydrogen atoms is suppressed in the method. The method includes reacting a specific chlorofluoroolefin with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst supported on a carrier to obtain the hydrofluoroolefin. The catalyst is a catalyst composed of an alloy containing at least one platinum group element of palladium and platinum, and at least one second element of copper, gold, lithium, potassium, silver, zinc, tin, lead, and bismuth.

Process for producing hydrofluoroolefin

To provide a method for producing a hydrofluoroolefin, wherein formation of an over-reduced product having hydrogen added to an aimed hydrofluorolefin and an over-reduced product having some of fluorine atoms in the aimed product replaced with hydrogen atoms, as by-products, is suppressed. A method for producing a hydrofluoroolefin, which comprises reacting a specific chlorofluoroolefin with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst supported on a carrier, to obtain a specific hydrofluoroolefin, wherein the catalyst is a catalyst composed of particles of an alloy containing at least one platinum group metal selected from the group consisting of palladium and platinum, and gold, and the proportion of the gold at the surface of the alloy particles is from 5 to 30 mass % per 100 mass % in total of the platinum group metal and the gold at the surface of the alloy particles.

The method includes reacting a specific chlorofluoroolefin with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst supported on a carrier to obtain the hydrofluoroolefin. The catalyst is a catalyst composed of an alloy containing at least one platinum group element of palladium and platinum, and at least one second element of manganese, copper, aluminum, gold, lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, silver, zinc, cadmium, indium, silicon, germanium, tin, lead, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.

A hydrofluoroolefin is produced by reacting a chlorofluoroolefin with hydrogen in the presence of a platinum group metal catalyst supported on a carbon carrier to obtain a hydrofluoroolefin. The chlorofluoroolefin is represented by formula (1): CZX&#x2550;CClY, where X is F or Cl, Y is F, Cl or H, and Z is F or CF. The hydrofluoroolefin is represented by formula (2): CZX' &#x2550;CHY&#x2032;, where X&#x2032; is F when X is F, or X&#x2032; is H when X is Cl, Y&#x2032; is F when Y is F, or Y&#x2032; is H when Y is Cl or H, and Z is the same as Z in the formula (1). The carbon carrier has acidic functional groups, and the total acidic functional group amount in the carbon carrier is at most 50 &#x3bc;mol/g.
