Abstract
Fluorination reactions in which an organic compound to be fluorinated is contacted with elemental fluorine and HF is produced as a byproduct are disclosed, wherein the elemental fluorine is contacted with the organic compound in the presence of a fluoride-adsorbing composition so that the amount of HF or another hydrogen-containing byproduct is reduced or eliminated. Reactor embodiments for the fluorination reactions are also disclosed.
