1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane → 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane

Participants

Reaction Steps

reacting 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane with an effective amount of elemental fluorine in an inert gas, in a mole ratio of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane to elemental fluorine from about 1:2 to about 100:1, at a temperature of from about -20° to about 400° C. and for a reaction time of from about 0.1 seconds to about 72 hours, to produce a 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane product comprising 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, unreacted starting materials and byproducts; and
