Patent Images
1. A process for preparing 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane which comprises (a) contacting 1,1,1 -trifluoro-3-chloro-2-propene with hydrogen fluoride in a first reaction zone under conditions sufficient to produce a reaction mixture containing 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-propene;
- and (b) seperating the 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-propene from said reaction mixture and contacting it with hydrogen fluoride in a second reaction zone under conditions sufficient to produce 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane.
