Summary:Processes for the production of chlorinated alkanes are provided. The present processes comprise catalyzing the addition of at least two chlorine atoms to an alkane and/or alkene with a catalyst system comprising one or more nonmetallic iodides and/or lower than conventional levels of elemental iodine and at least one Lewis acid. The present processes make use of sulfuryl chloride, or chlorine gas, as a chlorinating agent. L'invention concerne des procédés de production d'alcanes chlorés. Les présents procédés comprennent la catalyse de l'addition d'au moins deux atomes de chlore à un alcane et/ou alcène avec un système catalytique comprenant un ou plusieurs iodures non métalliques et/ou inférieurs au niveau classique d'iodure élémentaire et au moins un acide de Lewis. Les présents procédés utilisent de chlorure de sulfuryle, ou de chlore gazeux, comme un agent chlorant.
