Abstract
1,1,1,-Trifluoro-2-chloroethane (fluorocarbon 133a) is chlorinated with Cl.sub.2 and product 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-dichloroethane (fluorocarbon 123) is recovered from the reaction mixture, as is overchlorinated byproduct 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2,2-trichloroethane (fluorocarbon 113a). Fluorocarbon 113a is then reacted in the vapor phase with fluorocarbon 133a in the presence of a catalyst to produce more fluorocarbon 123. Preferred catalysts are activated carbon and especially chromium oxides and oxyfluorides. The product is useful in aerosol, refrigerant and foaming applications, and as an intermediate to other chlorofluoroethanes such as 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoro-1-chloroethane (fluorocarbon 124).
