A method for preparing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene comprising (a) providing a starting composition comprising at least one compound having a structure selected from Formulae I, II and III: CX2=CCl-CH2X (Formula I) CX3-CCl=CH2 (Formula II) CX3-CHCl-CH2X (Formula III) wherein X is independently selected from F, Cl, Br, and I, provided that at least one X is not
fluorine; (b) contacting said starting composition with a first fluorinating agent to produce a first
intermediate composition comprising 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and a first
chlorine-containing byproduct; (c) contacting said first
intermediate composition with a second fluorinating agent to produce a second
intermediate composition comprising 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane and a second
chlorine-containing byproduct; and (d) catalytically dehydrochlorinating at least a portion of said 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane to produce a
reaction product comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene.
