PURPOSE: To produce the title compound useful as a blowing agent, refrigerant, detergent, etc., in high selectivity, in high purity and in high yield by reducing a difluoromethylene group-containing pentafluoropropane with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst.
CONSTITUTION: A difluoromethylene group-containing pentafluoropropane shown by formula I (n is 0≤-≤2) is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst to give a hydrogen-containing pentafluoropropane shown by formula II (n is 1≤-≤3) and a hydrogen-containing tetrafluoropropane shown by formula III (n is 1≤-≤4). For example, 1,1,3-trichloro-1,2,2,3,3- pentafluoropropane, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane or 1,1- dichloro-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane is preferable as the difluoromethylene group- containing pentafluoropropane as the starting raw material.
