1,1,1,3-Tetrachloropropane → 1,1,3-Trichloropropene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chlorine conversion was 97%; 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane conversion was 99%. The yields of 1,1,3-trichloropropene, 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane, and 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene on 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane fed were 3.7, 76.7, and 7.6 percent, respectively. The yield of the usual four undesired prominent high-boiling byproducts was 6.3 wt % in the reactor effluent. Comparison of this experiment with Example 8 shows a significant advantage for the feedstock containing 15.7 wt % carbon tetrachloride.
