Procedure

The product of this invention, 2-chloro-1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (CFC-217ba), is useful as an intermediate for commercially valuable fluorocarbons. For example, hydrodechlorination of CFC-217ba gives either hexafluoropropene, a useful polymer intermediate, or 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea), which finds application as a propellant and fire extinguishant. Fluorination of CFC-217ba gives octafluoropropane (FC-218) which is useful as an etchant in the electronics industry.
