Abstract: Provided is a method for producing tetrafluoromethane, and the method is unlikely to damage a reaction apparatus and can produce tetrafluoromethane safely, inexpensively, and stably. To a raw material liquid (1) containing a reaction inducer and a fluorinated hydrocarbon represented by chemical formula CpHqClrFs (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less) and having no carbon-carbon unsaturated bond, fluorine gas is introduced to give tetrafluoromethane. The reaction inducer is a hydrocarbon polymer solid at normal temperature and pressure and is reacted with fluorine gas to induce a reaction of forming tetrafluoromethane from the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the fluorine gas.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a fluorine-containing organic compound. The method can immediately detect the occurrence of a side reaction in direct fluorination reaction using fluorine gas and can give a highly pure fluorine-containing organic compound at a high yield. A raw material liquid (1) containing a raw material organic compound having a hydrogen atom and two or more carbon atoms is reacted with fluorine gas in a reaction container (11) to replace the hydrogen atom of the raw material organic compound with a fluorine atom to give a fluorine-containing organic compound. In the reaction, tetrafluoromethane contained in a gas phase (2) in the reaction container (11) is continuously measured, and the amount of the fluorine gas supplied to the reaction container (11) is controlled depending on the measured value of the tetrafluoromethane.
