Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2,180 g (22.5 moles) of 1,1-dichloroethane are initially introduced into the reaction vessel at -70° C., 75 g of powdered aluminum chloride are added and 1,160 g (7.5 moles) of 1,3-dichloro-3-methylpentane are then added dropwise. The reaction mixture is stirred at -70° C. for 4 hours and is then poured onto ice and dilute hydrochloric acid. It is extracted with methylene chloride and the organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. The residue is distilled. 1,572 g (83% of theory) of 3-ethyl-3-methyl-1,1,1,5-tetrachloropentane of boiling point 85° C./0.1 mbar are obtained. ##STR104##
