Abstract
Abstract A process is disclosed for preparing 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene comprising allylic rearrangement of 2,3,3,3-tetrachloropropene using a substantially anhydrous ferric chloride catalyst. Alternatively, 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene is prepared by dehydrochlorination of 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane using a ferric chloride catalyst. Process schemes commencing with the preparation of the precursor 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane by reaction of ethylene with carbon tetrachloride are also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A process for producing 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene comprising the steps of: preparing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane by reacting ethylene with carbon tetrachloride in the presence of both a source of metallic iron that is effective as an activator for the reaction, and a promoter for the reaction, said promoter being selected from trialkyl phosphites; dehydrochlorinating said 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce a mixture of 1,1,3- and 3,3,3-trichloropropenes; chlorinating at least one of the trichloropropenes obtained by said dehydrochlorination of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane; dehydrochlorinating the 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane to produce a mixture of 1,1,2,3- and 2,3,3,3-tetrachloropropenes; and contacting the mixture of tetrachloropropenes with an allylic rearrangement catalyst provided by substantially anhydrous ferric chloride, thereby converting the 2,3,3,3-tetrachloropropene content thereof to 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A process for producing 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene comprising the steps of: preparing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane by reacting ethylene with carbon tetrachloride in the presence of both a source of metallic iron that is effective as an activator for the reaction, and a promoter for the reaction, said promoter being selected from trialkyl phosphites; dehydrochlorinating said 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce a mixture of 1,1,3- and 3,3,3-trichloropropenes; chlorinating at least one of the trichloropropenes obtained by said dehydrochlorination of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane; dehydrochlorinating the 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane to produce a mixture of 1,1,2,3- and 2,3,3,3-tetrachloropropenes; and contacting the mixture of tetrachloropropenes with an allylic rearrangement catalyst provided by substantially anhydrous ferric chloride, thereby converting the 2,3,3,3-tetrachloropropene content thereof to 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A process as set forth in claim 1 wherein the reaction between ethylene and carbon tetrachloride is carried out in a reaction system comprising a liquid phase in contact with said source of metallic iron, said liquid phase comprising carbon tetrachloride and said promoter, said promoter being compatible with said carbon tetrachloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as set forth in claim 2 wherein said liquid phase contains ferric chloride prior to the initiation of said reaction.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as set forth in claim 3 wherein said promoter is initially present in molar excess with respect to ferric chloride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
109 words
A process for producing 1,1,2,3-tetarchloropropene comprising the steps of: preparing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane by reacting ethylene with carbon tetrachloride in the presence of both a source of metallic iron that is effective as an activator for the reaction, and a promoter for the reaction, said promoter being selected from the group consisting of trialkyl phosphites and phosphorus (V) compounds containing a phosphoryl group; dehydrochlorinating said 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce a mixture of 1,1,3- and 3,3,3-trichloropropenes; chlorinating at least one of the trichloropropenes obtained by said dehydrochlorination of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to produce 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane; and contacting said 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane with a catalytic proportion of substantially anhydrous ferric chloride, thereby effecting dehydrochlorination of the 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane to 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene.
