Abstract
The preparation of chlorinated hydrocarbons by reacting a chlorinated alkane substrate, such as 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane, with a source of chlorine, such as chlorine (Cl), in the presence of a polyvalent molybdenum compound, such as molybdenum pentachloride, is described. With the method of the present invention, the chlorinated alkane product has covalently bonded thereto at least one more chlorine group than the chlorinated alkane substrate, and the chlorinated alkane substrate and the chlorinated alkane product each have a carbon backbone structure that is in each case the same.
