Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a fluorinated organic compound comprising converting at least one compound of formula (I): to at least one compound of formula (II): where X where each Y is independently F, Cl, Br or I, provided that at least one Y is F, wherein said addition reaction is in the presence of at least one optionally supported fluorination catalyst selected from the group consisting of at least one antimony-based catalyst, at least one transition metal-based catalyst, at least one tin-based catalyst, and combinations thereof, and (2) a dehydrohalogenation reaction in the presence of at least one optionally supported dehydrohalogenation catalyst selected from the group consisting of activated carbon, at least one antimony-based catalyst, at least one aluminum-based catalyst, at least one palladium-based catalyst, at least one platinum-based catalyst, at least one rhodium-based catalyst, at least one ruthenium-based catalyst, and combinations thereof, wherein said reaction comprises exposing said compound of formula (B) to conditions effective to produce at least one compound in accordance with formula (II).
