CHFCF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 CF.sub.3 ; and compositions thereof. Catalytic
processes using Group VIII metals are disclosed for reacting selected
olefinic starting materials with hydrogen to produce as the major products
dihydropolyfluoroalkanes or trihydropolyfluoroalkanes wherein the
hydrogens are positioned on two adjacent carbon atoms; as are processes
using iodine and/or hydrogen iodide in the reduction of selected olefinic
starting materials to dihydropolyfluoroalkanes or
trihydropolyfluoroalkanes.
