The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic chemistry, and in particular to a method for preparing cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene. The method for preparing cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene provided by the present invention, comprises the following steps: using trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene as
raw material, under the action of
light source and
silicon dioxide supported phosphomolybdic
heteropoly acid catalyst, promoting trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene to undergo photochemical reaction, and obtaining cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene. The method for preparing cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene provided by the present invention is simple to operate, and thermodynamic limitations can be broken through by photoreaction, so that the conversion rate of trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene is high, and the selectivity and yield of cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropylene are high, and the service life of the
silicon dioxide supported phosphomolybdic
heteropoly acid catalyst obtained by the present invention is relatively long, which is conducive to
continuous production.
