Abstract:
Process for manufacturing dichloropropanol according to which, a) in a liquid reaction medium containing water, which is in contact with a gaseous phase, glycerol is reacted with hydrogen chloride under a partial pressure of hydrogen chloride in the gaseous phase greater than 0.2 bar absolute, and b) at least part of the liquid reaction medium and optionally part of the gaseous phase from step a) is (are) subjected to at least one separation operation and, prior to said separation operation, the part of the liquid reaction medium and the part of the gaseous phase from step a) is (are) subjected to bi) at least one treatment for reducing the weight ratio between the hydrogen chloride and the water in the part of the liquid reaction medium so as to attain a ratio less than or equal to the weight ratio between the hydrogen chloride and the water in the binary azeotropic hydrogen chloride/water composition at total pressure of the separation operation, and/or bii) at least one treatment for reducing the weight ratio between the water and the dichloropropanol in the part of the liquid reaction medium so as to attain a ratio less than or equal to the weight ratio between the water and the dichloropropanol in the ternary water/dichloropropanol/hydrogen chloride azeotrope at total pressure of the separation operation.
Abstract:
Process for producing a chlorohydrin by reaction between a multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof, and a chlorinating agent, according to which the multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of a multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, or the mixture thereof used contains at least one solid or dissolved metal salt, the process comprising a separation operation to remove at least part of the metal salt.

Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 4,4,4-trichlorobutan-1-ol which comprises reacting allyl alcohol with chloroform in the presence of a radical initiator. Preferably the allyl alcohol is added incrementally to the chloroform over the period of the reaction.
Abstract:
A continuous process for the production of dichlorohydrin by the reaction of chlorine, water and allyl chloride, having reduced water consumption wherein the dichlorohydrin formed is extracted into an inert organic solvent and the remaining aqueous reaction product is subjected to reverse osmosis, and at least a portion of the resulting permeate is recycled to the reaction.
Abstract:
A continuous process for the production of dichlorohydrin by the reaction of allyl chloride, water and chlorine in a reaction zone comprising a first reaction stage, a final reaction stage and optionally at least one intermediate reaction stage, where the reaction mixture from at least one reaction stage is electrodialyzed in at least one electrodialysis zone to remove ions formed during the reaction, whereas at least a portion of the reaction product from said final reaction stage is passed to the concentrate inlet of said at least one electrodialysis zone, and withdrawing an ion-containing reaction product concentrate stream from said electrodialysis zone, whereby any dichlorohydrin which passes into the concentrate stream in said at least one electrodialysis zone may be recovered.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a compound of the formulae (Ia) and/or (Ib): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon groups or are joined together so as to form a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring, and R.sup.3 is a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group; which process comprises the ring-closing cyclization of a compound of the formula (II): ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined in relation to formulae (Ia) and (Ib).
