Abstract:
SEPARATION OF METHOXYETHYLCHLORIDE FROM A MIXTURE THEREOF WITH METHANOL, WATER AND DICHLOROETHANE BY LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION WITH A HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON, AN AROMATIC HYDROCARBON, OR AN ETHER WHICH IS IMMISCIBLE WITH WATER AND WITH A MIXTURE OF METHANOL, DICHLOROETHANE AND METHOXYETHYL CHLORIDE.
Abstract:
b -Chloroalkyl ethers of the formula wherein R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl or aralkyl radical, R2 is hydrogen or an alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aryl or aralkyl radical or the two R2 radicals may form a common alkylene chain of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, optionally with 1 or 2 double bonds, and R3 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl radical, R1, R2 and R3 being optionally substituted, e.g. by halogen atoms or alkoxy radicals, are obtained by reacting olefins of the formula R1R2C=CR1R2 with chlorine and alcohols of the formula R3OH under anhydrous conditions in the presence of an acid-combining agent which reacts with hydrogen chloride without the production of water. Suitable acid-combining agents are the alkali-metal alcoholates and the mono- and poly-epoxides. Olefin dichlorides of the formula R1R2ClC-CR1R2Cl may be produced as by-products.
Abstract:
A 1,1,1-trichloroethane stabilzing composition comprising an alcohol or 1,2 epoxy butane, at least one organic compound containing at least one nitrile group, 1,4-dioxane and nitromethane. Preferably the nitrile is Delta -methoxy acetonitrile and the alcohol is tertiary butanol.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF 1,1-DICHLORETHANE BY REACTING VINYL CHLORIDE INTRODUCED IN LIQUID FORM AND DRY HYDROGEN CHLORIDE IN 1,1-DICHLORETHANE AS REACTION MEDIUM IN THE PRESENCE OF CATALYTIC QUANTITIES OF AN ANHYDROUS CHLORIDE OF A TRIVALENT METAL I DISCLOSED CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE REACTION IS CARRIED OUT IN A VERTICAL REACTION ZONE AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW ABOUT 50*C. THE LIQUID VINYL CHLORIDE AND DRY HYDROGEN CHLORIDE ARE INTRODUCED AT THE LOWER END OF THE REACTION ZONE. THE CATALYST IS MAINTAINED IN SUSPENSION IN THE LOWER PORTION OF THE REACTION ZONE BY REGULATING THE RATE AT WHICH THE STARTING MATERIALS ARE INTRODUCED INTO THE REACTION ZONE. THE 1,1-DICHLORETHANE REACTION PRODUCT WHICH IS ENTIRELY FREE OF SUSPENDED CATALYST IS REMOVED AT THE TOP OF THE REACTION ZONE.
