The present invention provides improved methods for preparing halogenated alkanes. The method includes contacting at least one olefin, halogenated olefin, or a combination thereof, with a halogenated methane having at least one chlorine atom to form a liquid phase. The liquid phase is then contacted with at least one catalytic species that initiates the reaction of at least one olefin, halogenated olefin, or a combination thereof, with a halogenated methane having at least one chlorine atom. |
