Abstract:
An improved process for the production of .alpha.-chloroalkanoyl chlorides by reaction of alkanoyl chlorides with chlorine at elevated temperatures is described in which process chlorosulphonic acid is used as catalyst.
Abstract:
FLUORINATION OF HALOGENATED ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON IS EFFECTED BY REACTING SAID HYDROCARBONS WITH HYDROGEN FLUORIDE IN GASEOUS PHASE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST, THE EMPIRICAL COMPOSITION OF WHICH VARIES SUCH AS BETWEEN CRF1.5O1.5 AND CRF2O OR A CATALYST, THE EMPIRICAL COMPOSITION OF WHICH VARIES SUCH AS BETWEEN CRFO2 AND CRF2O.
Abstract:
By reacting an aromatic compound containing at least one trichloromethyl group bonded to an aromatic carbon atom with an aliphatic acid anhydride in the presence of a catalyst, an aromatic acid chloride and an alkyl carboxylic acid chloride are produced. The desirable products are preferably obtained through distillation at ambient conditions. Although various catalysts can be employed, an acid catalyst, such as sulphuric acid is preferred.
Abstract:
An improved process for the production of Alpha chlorocarboxylic acid chlorides by reaction of a carboxylic acid chloride with chlorine at elevated temperature, wherein the improvement consists in carrying out the reaction in the presence of sulfuric acid. Alpha -chlorocarboxylic acid chlorides are suitable for the production of plant protection agents.
