Zusammenfassung:A subject-matter of the invention is a process for the preparation of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene which comprises the following stages: (i) hydrogenation of hexafluoropropylene to give 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane; (ii) dehydrofluorination of the 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane obtained in the preceding stage to give 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-1-propene; (iii) hydrogenation of the 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-1-propene obtained in the preceding stage to give 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane; and (iv) dehydrofluorination of the 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane obtained in the preceding stage to give 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene. Stages (ii) and (iv) are carried out using a water and potassium hydroxide mixture with the potassium hydroxide representing between 58 and 86% by weight of the mixture and at a temperature of between 110 and 180° C.
