Abstract
The invention relates to a continuous process for the preparation of pivaloyl chloride and of aroyl chloride, in particular of benzoyl chloride, which consists in reacting pivalic acid with a trichloromethylated aromatic compound in the presence of a catalyst at a temperature of between 60° C. and 180° C. under reduced pressure. The products formed are continuously removed from the reaction region, the hydrogen chloride formed being treated in a washing region in which a trichloromethylated compound moves countercurrentwise.
