A process for continuous preparation of halogenated alkoxyethane of general formula XClHC-CF 2 OR, where X is –Cl or –F and OR is C 1-4 alkoxy, the process comprising a step of introducing in a plate reactor reaction components comprising (i) a compound of general formula XClC=CF 2 , (ii) a base, and (iii) a C 1-4 alkanol, wherein a) the plate reactor comprises a fluidic module defining one or more fluidic path(s) through which the reaction components flow as a reaction mixture, and b) the halogenated alkoxyethane is formed at least upon the reaction components mixing, with the so formed halogenated alkoxyethane flowing out of the plate reactor in a reactor effluent. |
