Abstract:
A method for the production of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropene which comprises contacting 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane with hydrogen in the presence of a metal-containing catalyst carried by a carbon support, at a temperature in the range of about 300Â° C. to about 800Â° C. and recovering the 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropene from the resulting reaction product, wherein the metal-containing catalyst carried by a carbon support is selected from the group consisting of a metal, metal halide, metal oxide, metal oxyhalide and combinations thereof, wherein the metal of the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of Fe, Cu, Ni and Cr.
