Abstract
A process for the production of a chloroalkene that includes contacting a liquid phase chloroalkane with a solid catalyst, a catalyst deposited on a solid substrate, or combinations thereof, thereby causing the dehydrochlorination of the chloroalkane to produce a chloroalkene product and HCl. Processes for the production of 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene and 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane are further provided.
Claims29
A process for the production of a chloroalkene comprising:
- contacting a liquid phase first chloroalkane with a solid catalyst, a catalyst deposited on a solid substrate, or combinations thereof, and thereby causing dehydrochlorination of the first chloroalkane to produce a first chloroalkene product and HCl.

A process for the production of 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane comprising:
- contacting 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane in liquid phase with a solid catalyst, a catalyst deposited on a solid substrate, or combinations thereof, and thereby causing dehydrochlorination of the 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce a trichloropropene product and HCl;
- and
- reacting at least a portion of the trichloropropene product with a chlorinating agent to form at least some 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane.
A process for the production of 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene comprising:
- contacting 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane in liquid phase with a solid catalyst, a catalyst deposited on a solid substrate, or combinations thereof, and thereby causing dehydrochlorination of the 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce a trichloropropene product and HCl;
- reacting at least a portion of the trichloropropene product with a chlorinating agent to form at least some 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane;
- and
- contacting the 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane in liquid phase with a homogeneous catalyst, a solid catalyst, a catalyst deposited on a solid substrate, or combinations thereof, and thereby causing dehydrochlorination of the 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane to produce at least some 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene.
