Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention provides a method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, which is a precursor of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, in two or three reaction steps, using at least one chlorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane, 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoropropane, and 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene as a starting material, the reaction products of at least two of the steps being supplied to the same distillation apparatus to subject the products to a separation operation simultaneously. With this method, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, which is a precursor of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, can be efficiently produced with reduced energy and equipment costs in an economically advantageous manner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 3 . (canceled) 4 . A method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, comprising the reaction steps of: (1) obtaining 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane by adding hydrogen fluoride to 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene; and (2) obtaining 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene by dehydrochlorination of the 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, the method further comprising the step of supplying the products of reaction step (1) and the products of reaction step (2) to the same distillation apparatus to separate the products into a hydrogen chloride-containing fraction and a fraction substantially free of hydrogen chloride. 5 . The method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene according to claim 4 , further comprising the step of removing hydrogen chloride from the hydrogen chloride-containing fraction. 6 . The method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene according to claim 5 , further comprising the step of recycling all or part of the fraction from which hydrogen chloride has been removed to at least one of the reaction steps. 7 . The method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene according to claim 4 , further comprising the step of collecting 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene from the hydrogen chloride-containing fraction and/or the fraction substantially free of hydrogen chloride. 8 . The method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene according to claim 4 , further comprising the step of recycling all or part of the fraction substantially free of hydrogen chloride to at least one of the reaction steps. 9 - 14 . (canceled)
