1,1,1-trichloropropane

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: In the present process, dichloropropane is converted to a chlorinated alkene, e.g., TCPE, using a series of consecutive chlorination and dehydrochlorination steps. In one exemplary embodiment, PDC is fed to a liquid phase chlorination reactor, e.g., such as a batch or continuous stirred tank autoclave reactor with an internal cooling coil. A shell and multitube exchanger operating in plug flow, followed by vapor liquid disengagement tank or vessel can also be used. Suitable reaction conditions include, e.g., a temperature of from 30° C. to 150° C., a pressure of from 100 kPa to 2000 kPa. The reaction is carried out in the presence of one or more regioselective catalysts that provide a regioselectivity to, e.g., 1,1,2-trichloropropane of at least 5:1 over other trichloropropane isomers. Suitable reaction conditions of from 30° C. to 150° C.
