Patent ID: 8822741

Claim:
A process for the fluorination of haloolefins, the process comprising: continuously and simultaneously feeding into a reaction vessel: a first feed comprising an amount of elemental fluorine and a second feed comprising an amount of a haloolefin of formula (I): CXR 1 ═CYR 2 (I), wherein: R 1 is selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, I, R f1 , and OR f1 ; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of H, F, Cl, Br, I, R f2 , and OR f2 ; X is selected from the group consisting of H, F, Cl, Br, and I; Y is selected from the group consisting of H, F, Cl, Br, and I; and R f1 and R f2 , equal to or different from each other, are independently selected from a straight-chain or branched C 1 -C 20 fluoroalkyl or a C 1 -C 20 fluorooxyalkyl comprising one or more than one catenary oxygen atoms, wherein the reaction vessel contains anhydrous HF.
