Into a 400 mL Pyrex glass photoreactor with a not doped high pressure mercury vapor radiator (available as the TQ 718 of Firma Heraeus Noblelight), a mixture of trichloroethylene (from a pre-vaporizer at a temperature of 150° C.) and oxygen was supplied in gaseous form in a molar ratio of 1:1.1 and irradiated through quartz glass with a lamp output of 500 W at a temperature within the reactor of 90° C. The educts were supplied continuously here to the reactor from above and the products were discharged at the lower outlet of the reactor into a methanol/dry ice trap. The dosage was 2.2 moles of trichloroethylene per hour. GC analysis of the condensation products revealed dichloroacetyl chloride in a selectivity of 83%. Furthermore, 3.5% trichloroethylene epoxide, 11% phosgene and 2.8% oxalyl dichloride were formed. The conversion of the trichloroethylene was 63%.
