1. A dehydrohalogenation process for the preparation of fluoropropenes of the formula CF3CY═
- CXNHp, wherein X and Y are independently hydrogen or a halogen selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine; and
N and P are independently integers equal to 0, 1, or 2, provided that (N+P)=2;
comprising reacting a halopropane of the formula;
CF3C(YR1)C(XNHPR2)wherein R1, R2, X and Y are independently hydrogen or a halogen selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, provided that at least one of R1, R2, X and Y is a halogen and there is at least one hydrogen and one halogen on adjacent carbon atoms;
with a caustic solution of at least one alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide in a non-aqueous, non-alcohol solvent for said alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide that is essentially miscible with said halopropane.
