Process for the production of chlorofluorinated organic compounds and new products thus obtained. Chlorofluorinated organic compounds can be produced by an oxychlorofluorination process by reacting a gas mixture of a starting material selected from the following: A. An acyclic hydrocarbon containing up to 4 carbon atoms; B. An aromatic hydrocarbon; C. A cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon; D. A saturated aliphatic compound containing a carboxy group or a saturated aliphatic aldehyde; E. A saturated aliphatic sulfur compound, wherein all atoms are C, H, S and O; F. An aliphatic ketone; and G. An aliphatic ether, with a corresponding hydrohalogen compound as starting material, wherein the halogen atoms are selected from chlorine and fluorine, or mixtures thereof, an oxygen-containing gas, a chlorinating agent selected from the group consisting of HCl, Cl2, and mixtures thereof, and HF, in the presence of a deacon catalyst supported by a stable, inert carrier consisting of a metal salt such as AlF3. The present invention is particularly useful for the production of various organic chlorofluorine compounds. |
