More Information
Summary:Processes for the production of chlorinated alkanes are provided. The present processes comprise reacting one or more mono and/or dichloroalkanes to form tri tetra and/or pentachloroalkanes with high regioselectivity. In those embodiments wherein a dichloroalkane is desirably utilized it may advantageously be a vicinal dichloroalkane. Further only one catalyst is utilized. The present processes make use of sulfuryl chloride as a chlorinating agent rather than a gaseous chlorinating agent such as chlorine gas. Finally the process uses lower intensity process conditions than at least some conventional processes and thus operating costs are saved.
