Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process is described wherein otherwise unusable by-products from a process for the manufacture of trans HCFO-1233zd(E) are converted to a valuable product by introducing them into a process for the production of HFC-245fa. The process includes the catalytic hydrofluorination of a reaction mixture comprising the HCFO-1233zd production by-products.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A process for making 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) comprising the catalytic hydrofluorination of a reaction mixture comprising by-products formed during the production of 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd), wherein the byproducts are selected from the group consisting of isomers of HCFC-241, HCFC-242, HCFC-243 and mixtures thereof 2 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the HCFO-1233zd by-products are isolated from a process for the production of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd(E)) and wherein the by-products further comprise the cis isomer of HCFO-1233zd. 3 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the reaction mixture further includes HCC-240fa. 4 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of (I) pentavalent antimony, niobium, arsenic and tantalum halides; (II) pentavalent antimony, niobium, arsenic and tantalum mixed halides; and (III) mixtures of pentavalent antimony, niobium, arsenic and tantalum halide catalysts. 5 . The process of claim 4 , wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of antimony pentachloride and antimony pentafluoride. 6 . The process of claim 4 , wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of SbCl 2 F 3 and SbBr 2 F 3 . 7 . The process of claim 4 , wherein the catalyst is a mixture of antimony pentachloride and antimony pentafluoride. 8 . The process of claim 4 , wherein the catalyst is fluorinated antimony pentachloride. 9 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is fluorinated antimony pentafluoride. 10 . A process for making 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) comprising the catalytic hydrofluorination of a reaction mixture comprising isomers of HCFC-241, HCFC-242, HCFC-243, and the cis isomer of HCFO-1233zd, isolated from a process for the production of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd(E)). 11 . The process of claim 10 , wherein the reaction mixture further includes HCC-240fa. 12 . The process of claim 10 , wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of (I) pentavalent antimony, niobium, arsenic and tantalum halides; (II) pentavalent antimony, niobium, arsenic and tantalum mixed halides; and (III) mixtures of pentavalent antimony, niobium, arsenic and tantalum halide catalysts. 13 . The process of claim 12 , wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of antimony pentachloride and antimony pentafluoride. 14 . The process of claim 12 , wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of SbCl 2 F 3 and SbBr 2 F 3 . 15 . The process of claim 12 , wherein the catalyst is a mixture of antimony pentachloride and antimony pentafluoride. 16 . The process of claim 10 , wherein the catalyst is fluorinated antimony pentachloride. 17 . The process of claim 10 , wherein the catalyst is fluorinated antimony pentafluoride. 18 . A process for making 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) comprising the catalytic hydrofluorination of a reaction feed selected from the group consisting of isomers of HCFC-241, HCFC-242, HCFC-243, the cis isomer of HCFO-1233zd, and mixtures thereof.
