Abstract:
The invention provides a reactor comprising a reaction chamber having a catalytic surface in contact with reactants in said chamber, and a source for passing electrical current through said catalytic surface. The reactor can be used for dehydrohalogentation reactions, such as dehydrochlorination of HCFC-244bb to HFO-1234yf and for reactions where zero valent metals are employed for catalysis. The invention further provides a process to prepare HFO-1234yf from HCFC-244bb using an electrically heated reaction chamber.

Claim (Index 20):
A reactor for a dehydrohalogenation reaction comprising an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with a plurality of reactor tubes, the reactor tubes having a surface in contact with dehydrohalogenation reactants, said surface comprising a material that catalyzes the dehydrohalogenation reaction, the plurality of reactor tubes being connected to an electrical power source for passing electrical current through the reactor tubes to heat the surface to a temperature effective to achieve dehydrohalogenation.
