PROCESS FOR PRODUCING C3 CHLORINATED ALKANE AND ALKENE COMPOUNDS

A process for producing a reaction mixture comprising a plurality of C3 chlorinated alkane isomers comprising chlorinating a C3 chlorinated alkane starting material in a chlorination zone to produce the plurality of C3 chlorinated alkane isomers, the plurality of C3 chlorinated alkane isomers each having at least one more chlorine atom than the C3 chlorinated alkane starting material, wherein the concentration of the C3 chlorinated alkane starting material is controlled such that conversion of the C3 chlorinated alkane starting material to the plurality of C3 chlorinated alkane isomers, represented by the molar ratio of the C3 chlorinated alkane starting material : C3 chlorinated alkane isomers in the reaction mixture present in the chlorination zone, does not exceed about 40:60.

SULFURYL CHLORIDE AS CHLORINATING AGENT

The use of sulfuryl chloride, either alone or in combination with chlorine, as a chlorinating agent is disclosed.

PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CHLORINATED PROPENES

Processes for the production of chlorinated propenes are provided. The present processes make use of 1,2-dichloropropane, a by-product in the production of chlorohydrin, as a low cost starting material, alone or in combination with 1,2,3-trichloropropane. The present processes can also generate anhydrous HCl as a byproduct that can be removed from the process and used as a feedstock for other processes, providing further time and cost savings. Finally, the processes are advantageously conducted in the liquid phase, thereby presenting additional savings as compared to conventional, gas phase processes.
