Abstract:
An object is to provide a method for producing 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene with high efficiency, which is suitable for a flow reaction, and cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene can be efficiently obtained when isomerization of hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene is conducted using a catalyst and the resultant mixture is successively subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to produce cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, wherein the whole process is performed by a flow catalytic reaction.
