A process for the manufacture of CF.sub.3CH.sub.2CHF.sub.2 and
CF.sub.3CH.sub.2CF.sub.3 is disclosed. The process involves (a) reacting
HF and at least one halopropene of the formula CX.sub.3CCl.dbd.CClX
(where each X is independently F or Cl) to produce a product including
both CF.sub.3CCl.dbd.CF.sub.2 and CF.sub.3CHClCF.sub.3; (b) reacting
CF.sub.3CCl.dbd.CF.sub.2 and CF.sub.3CHClCF.sub.3 produced in (a) with
hydrogen to produce a product including both CF.sub.3CH.sub.2CHF.sub.2
and CF.sub.3CH.sub.2CF.sub.3; and (c) recovering
CF.sub.3CH.sub.2CHF.sub.2 and CF.sub.3CH.sub.2CF.sub.3 from the product
produced in (b). In (a), the CF.sub.3CCl.dbd.CF.sub.2 and
CF.sub.3CHClCF.sub.3 are produced in the presence of a fluorination
catalyst including a ZnCr.sub.2O.sub.4/crystalline .alpha.-chromium oxide
composition, a ZnCr.sub.2O.sub.4/crystalline .alpha.-chromium oxide
composition which has been treated with a fluorinating agent, a zinc
halide/.alpha.-chromium oxide composition and/or a zinc
halide/.alpha.-chromium oxide composition which has been treated with a
fluorinating agent.
