Abstract
A process is disclosed for transforming a saturated reactant (e.g. 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane) into a saturated product (e.g. 1,1-dichloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane) by contacting a gaseous mixture comprising said reactant with an aluminum fluoride catalyst at an elevated temperature, which is characterized using a catalyst composition consisting essentially of an aluminum fluoride prepared by the reaction of aluminum hydroxide and HF. Also disclosed is a process for producing 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and/or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane by hydrodechlorinating 1,1-dichloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane produced by said transformation.
