Method for co-producing methyl chloropropene and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane by chlorination of isobutene

The invention discloses a method for co-producing methyl chloropropene and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane by chlorination of isobutene. According to the method, a chlorination reaction is carried out on chlorine or a mixture of chlorine and inert gas and excessive isobutene to obtain products, namely methyl chloropropene and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane. The method can reduce influence of micro-mixing on arapid chlorination reaction of isobutene, decarburization and coking do not occur easily, and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane can be co-produced while the yield of methyl chloropropene is improved.

Synthesis of chlorothioformates from xanthates

The Vilsmeier reagent derived from N-formylmorpholine produces chlorothioformates from primary and secondary alkyl xanthates. The major side products are the corresponding alkyl chlorides. Secondary alkyl chlorothioformates give lower yields due to their instability. Treating xanthates with other common chlorinating agents (oxalyl chloride, thionyl chloride) gives only dialkyl thiodicarbonates. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Process for making haloorganoalkoxysilanes

A haloorganoalkoxysilane is prepared by reacting an olefinic halide with an alkoxysilane in which the alkoxy group(s) contain at least two carbon atoms in a reaction medium to which has been added a catalytically effective amount of ruthenium-containing catalyst and a reaction-promoting effective amount of an electron-donating aromatic compound promoter. The process can be used to prepare, inter alia, chloropropyltriethoxysilane, which is a key intermediate in the manufacture of silane coupling agents.
