Selective Reduction of α-Chloroketone to α-Chloroalcohol Using Hydrogen Transfer from Alcohol over Metal Oxide Catalysts

The carbonyl group of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanone was reduced selectively through hydrogen transfer from 2-butanol over MgO, SiO2*Al2O3, Al2O3, and ZrO2. It is suggested that the reaction is promoted by either base or acid site of the catalysts.

PROCESS FOR PREPARING 1,3-DICHLOROACETONE

Epichlorohydrin is produced from acetone by (1) chlorinating acetone to form monochloroacetone; (2) disproportionating the monochloroacetone in the presence of a platinum catalyst, a strong acid and preferably a chloride source (for example, added as a salt or from hydrolysis of monochloroacetone) and some water to produce acetone and 1,3-dichloroacetone; (3) hydrogenating the 1,3-dichloroacetone in the presence of a catalyst to produce 1,3-dichlorohydrin; and (4) cyclizing the 1,3-dichlorohydrin with a base to produce epichlorohydrin.

Esterification of carboxylic acid salts

Mono- or polycarboxylic acid esters are prepared by reacting a salt of such carboxylic acid with an organic halocompound, e.g., a (cyclo)alkyl, (cyclo)alkenyl, aryl or aralkyl halide, in an aqueous reaction medium, in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a phase transfer catalyst, for example an onium salt.
