Abstract
1,1,1-Trichloroethane (viz., methylchloroform) and 1,1,2-trichloroethane are produced in the same reactor by feeding molecular chlorine and chloroethene (viz., vinyl chloride) as well as 1,1-dichloroethane to the reactor. The ratios at which the two trichloroethanes are produced can be easily controlled by controlling the relative ratios of 1,1-dichloroethane and chloroethene introduced to the reactor. The reactions are conducted in the liquid phase in the presence of free radical initiator.
