'l~he presellt invelltioll relates to a process for
producing a (-I;.chl.olol~ent.lf.lllol.opropane (1~25) SIICIl as
3,3-dichloro-1,1,1,2,2-penta~1uoropropane (R225ca) or
1,3-dichloro-1,1,2,?,3-pentaEluoropropal~e (R225cb). Such
a dichloropentafLuoroproparle is expectecl to be useful as
a foaming agent, a cooling medium or a cleaning agent
like conventional chlorofluorocarbons (~FCs).
BACKGROUND TECIINIQUE
As a method for producing the
dichloropentafluoropropane (R225), lt is Icnown to
synthesi~e it by adding dichlorofluoromethane to
tetrafluoroethylene in the presence of aluminum chloride.
However, this method produces, in addition to the desired
products, by-products which are hardly separable by a
usual method such as distillation since their boiling
points are elose to that of the desired products, and
thus has a disadvantage that a multi-step-purification
process is required to obtain the products in high
purity.
25DISCLôSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have conducted extensive
studies on a process for efficiently producing the

an addition reaction, and reducing and/or f]uorinating
the resulting C3Ce3F~X to obtain C3Ce2F5H.
_E T MODE OF CARRYING O~T THE Il EN'rION
Now, the present invention will be described in
detail with reference to the-preferred embodiments.
When trichlorofluoromethane ~Rll) is reacted with
tetrafluoroethylene (4F) in the presence of a Lewis acid
catalyst, trichloropentafluoropropanes such as 1,1,3-
trichloro-1,2,2,3,3-pentafluoropropane (R215ca) and
1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane (R215cb) are
obtained in good yield.
The proportionas of R215ca and R215cb formed by this
addition reaction vary depending upon the catalyst and
reaction conditions employed.
As the I,ewis acid catalyst useful for the reaction
of the present invention, it is possible to employ a

BBr3 or Bl3, a part;.ally cll:Lorinated or f:Luorinated
compound thereof, or a fluoride such as BF3 or SbF5. The
reacticn can be conducted in an inert solvent such as
perfluorooctane or perfluorobutyltetrahydrofuran.
However, to make the purificatioll easy, it is usually
preferred to conduct the reaction in the absence of any
solvent. The catalyst is used usually in an amount of
15 from 0.01 to 50~ by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 10~ by
weight, relative to the starting material. The reaction
temperature is usually within a range of from -80 to
200C, preferably from -20 to 100C, and the reaction
pressure is usua].ly from 0 to 20 kg/cm2, preferab].y from
20 0 to 10 kg/cm2. For the reaction, 4F is used usually 1.0
to 1.5 times the molar quantity of Rll. The Lewis acid
eatalyst is usually used in an amount of from 0.1 to 50
weight%~ preferably from 0.1 to 10 weight~, relative to
Rll.
The reduction of triehloropentafluoropropane (R215)
obtained by this reaetion ean be eondueted by using
various redueing methods such as a method of eondueting

organie compound having a hydrogell atom bonded thereto is
used. F`or exampJe, an alcohol sueh as methanol, ethanol,
isopropyl aleohol or see-butyl aleohol, an alkanè sueh as
hexane or heptane, or an aromatic compoulld sueh as
toluene or xylene, is preferred. Among them, a seeondary
aleohol sueh as isopropyl aleohol, is partieularly
preferred. Further, a solvent mixture thereof may also
be employed.
The light souree to be used in the present invention
is not partieularly limited so long as it is eapable of
emitting light having a wavelength of shorter than 400
nm. For example, a high pressure mereury lamp, a
moderate pressure mercury lamp or a low pressure mereury
lamp, may preferably be employed. The reaetion is
eondueted usually within a temperature range of from -80
to 100C, preferably from 0 to 40C. There is no
partieular restrietion as to the pressure. ~owever, the

Zinc mdy ~e used in any form such as a powder, granules
or fragments. However, it: is most preferred to employ
zinc powder. It is unllecessary to apply any special
pretreatmellt such as activating treatment before use.
The amount of zinc is not particularly limited. But it
is usually preferred to employ it at least stoichiometric
amount relative to the starting material. The reaction
is conducted usually within a temperature range of from
room temperature to 150C, preferably from 50 to 80C.
There is no particular restriction as to the pressure,
but the reaction is conducted usually wit-hin a pressure
range of from 0 to ln kg/cm2G, preferably from 0 to 3
kg/cm2G .
In a case where the reduction is conducted by using
hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, the reaction may
be carried out either in a liquid phase or a gas phase.

The ratio of hydrogen to the starting material may be
varied to a large extent. Usually, the halogen atom is
removed by using hydrogen in a stoichiometrical amount.
E~owever, in order to let the starting material react
almost compl.ftely, the molar ratio of the hydrogen to the
starting meterial may be larger than one to one, for
example, four to one or higher.

This reaction is conducted under the same conditions
as in the above mentioned addition reaction of 4F with
Rll.
The fluorination of l,3,3-trichloro-l,l,2,2-
tetrafluoropropane (R224ca) obtained by this reaction, is
conducted preferably in a gas phase in the presence of a
catalyst, or in a li.quid phase by using hydrogen
fluoride. The proportions of R225ca and R225cb formed hy
the fluorination vary depending upon the catalyst and
reaction conditions empolyed. As the caralyst used in
the gas phase, it is possible to employ a halide or an
oxide contai.ning at least one element selected from the
group consisting of Ae, Cr, Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr-/ Fe, Ni, Co
and Mn. As a method for the preparation of the catalyst,
any method may be employed so long as it is a method
capable of uniformly dispersing the hali.de or oxide
containing at least one element selected from the above
elements. For example, a coprecipit.ation method or a

those precipit:a~ecl l~rolll an aqueous solution of inorganic
salts such as nitl-clt:es or sulfates by IllCallS of aqueous
ammonia or urea, Or those prepared by th-- hydroLysis o~
organic salts, may be employed.
The cata]yst in the form of hydrates is preferably
dried at a temperature of from 120 to 150C, followed by
calcining usually at a temperature of Erom 300 to 600C,
preferably from 350 to 450C. In the present invention,
it is preferred to conduct activation of the catalyst.
This object can be accomplished usually by applying
fluorinating treatment usually at a temperature of from
100 to 450C, preferably from 200 350C. The activation
can be conducted in the fluorination reaction system, or
by heating witll a fluorinated hydrocarbon. The reaction
is conducted usually in a gas phase under atmospheric
pressure or an elevated pressure within a temperature
range of from 150 to 550C, preferably from 250 to 450C.
The ratio of hydrogen fluoride to the starting material
may be varied to a large extent. The ch]orine atom is
substituted usually by using a stoichiometrical amount of
hydrogen fluoride. However, it is possible to use

conducted in a liquid phase under atmospheric pressure or
all elevated pressure usually within a temperature range
of from 0 to 2U0C, preferably frorn room temperature to
150C. In the present invention, the reactioll is usually
conducted in the absence of any solvent. However, a
solvent may be employed. The solvent employed in such a
case is not particularly limited so long as it is capable
of dissolving propanes as the starting materials, and the
solvent itself is hardly fluorinated as compared with the
starting material. Further, the reaction pressure is
usually from 0 to 10 kg/cm2G, and when a solvent is used,
the reaction pressure depends upon the type of the
solvent.
Hydrogen fluoride may be charged before the
reaction. However, it is more effective to feed it into
the liquid phase as the reaction proceeds.

to obtain ~ ,3-trictlloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoropropane
(R224ca).
The fluorinat;on of the resulting R224ca is also
conducted in the same manner as the above described
fluorination described above to obtain
dichloropentafluoropropane.
Further, R214cb obtained-by the addition reaction of
4F with R10, may firstly be fluorinated in the same
manner as the fluorination oE R224ca, to form
trichloropentafluoropropane such as R215ca or R215cb,
which is then reduced in the same manner to obtain
dichloropentafluoropropane such as R225cb or R225ca.
The proportions of R215ca and R215cb formed by the
fluorination vary depending upon the catalyst and
reaction conditions employed.

into a photochemical reactor (EHB-WlF-500 Model,
manufactured by Eiko Co., Ltd.), 800 me of isopropanol
and 400 g of R215ca were charged. While cooling the
reaction solution to 10C, irradiation by a high pressure
mercury lamp was conducted for 10 hours. After washing
with water, the organic layer was recovered and analyzed
by gas chromatography and l9F-NMR. The results are shown
in Table 15.
