Procedure

The procedure was as described in Example 5 but 2155 g 1,2-dichloroethane containing 1.7 g dissolved iron(III)chloride was introduced into the reactor. The solution contained 0.083 weight % FeCl3, determined colorimetrically. The quantities of ethylene and chlorine introduced in the presence of air underwent reaction inside the reactor to give crude dichloroethane containing 0.12 weight % 1,1,2-trichloroethane.
