PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CHLORINATED ALKANES

Processes for the production of chlorinated alkanes are provided. The present processes comprise dehydrochlorinating one or more trichloroalkanes having from 3-6 carbon atoms and vicinal chlorine atoms, followed by a series of sequential chlorination and/or further dehydrochlorination steps. Because the trichloroalkane is first dehydrochlorinated, rather than being first chlorinated, greater specificity to desired tetra- and pentachloroalkanes can be seen.

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.

INVESTIGATION IN THE REGION OF ACYL PEROXIDES. XLVII. REACTION OF ACETYL PEROXIDE WITH TRICHLOROETHYLENE

The main products from the reaction of acetyl peroxide with trichloroethylene are 1,1,3,3,4,4-hexachloro-1-butene (dimer) and 1,1,3,3,4-pentachloro-1-pentene, the yields of which amount to 4.0 and 0.6 mole respectively per mole of acetyl peroxide.It was shown that dehydrochlorination of the dimer by the action of ferric chloride is a convenient preparative method for the production of 2-H-pentachloro-1,3-butadiene.
