  • PROCESSES FOR PREPARING PENTACHLOROPROPANE AND TETRACHLOROPROPENE FROM DICHLOROPROPENE
    Publication number: 20230348345
    Abstract: A processes for preparing 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene, 2,3,3,3-tetrachloropropene, or a mixture thereof from 1,3-dichloropropene. The process may include a two successive chlorination and dehydrochlorination reactions. Ina first chlorination reaction 1,3-dichloropropene is reacted with a chlorination agent to form a first chlorination reaction product including 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropane. This first chlorination reaction product is reacted with a dehydrochlorination reagent in a first dehydrochlorination reaction to form a first dehydrochlorination reaction product including a trichloropropene. The trichloropropene containing reaction product is reacted with a chlorination agent in a second chlorination reaction to form a second chlorination reaction product including at least one of 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane or 1,1,2,2,3-pentachloropropane.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A HALOGENATED ALKANE USING AN ABSORBER-REACTOR COMBINATION
    Publication number: 20210078923
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved processes for preparing halogenated alkanes. The processes comprise contacting at least one alkene, a halogenated alkene, or combinations thereof with a halogenated methane with at least one chlorine atom to form a liquid phase. This liquid phase is then contacted with at least one catalytic species which initiates the reaction with at least one alkene, a halogenated alkene, or combinations thereof with a halogenated methane with at least one chlorine atoms.
