BUTENE CONVERSION METHOD AND MONOFLUOROBUTANE PURIFICATION METHOD

Provided is an industrially simple and cheap method for efficiently removing butene from crude monofluorobutane containing butene without causing substantial decomposition, transformation, or the like of the monofluorobutane. In a provided monofluorobutane purification method, crude monofluorobutane containing butene is brought into contact with trihalomethane in the presence of an alkali aqueous solution to convert the butene to a compound having a higher boiling point than the monofluorobutane, water is subsequently added to a reaction mixture obtained thereby to dissolve a produced salt, an organic layer is separated, and then the separated organic layer is purified by distillation.
