Methyl Chloride → HCID 20341129, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

About 10 parts by weight of fine, granular, hydrated silica and 20 parts by weight of methallyl chloride are mixed then agitated at ambient temperature for about 1 hour, thereby producing as mixture of poly (methyallyl chloride) polymer, methallyl chloride and hydrated silica. About 50 parts by weight of methyl chloride, containing a Friedel-Crafts catalyst, boron trifluoride, in the amount of 0.8 parts by weight, are added to said mixture and cooled to -40 degree to -100 degree F.; then this mixture is slowly added to a mixture containing about 100 parts by weight of isobutylene and 150 parts by weight of methyl chloride while agitating and keeping the temperature between -40 degree to -100 degree F., thereby producing poly (methallyl chloride isobutylene) copolymer.
