Claims
- 1. A process for producing dichloroacetoxypropane comprising reacting allyl acetate with chlorine in a gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst.
- 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein a diluent is added during the reaction of allyl acetate with chlorine.
- 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction of allyl acetate with chlorine is carried out at a temperature of 70 to 300.degree. C.
- 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction of allyl acetate with chlorine is carried out under a pressure of 10 to 1,000 kPa.
- 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction of allyl acetate with chlorine is carried out at a temperature of 70 to 300.degree. C. and under a pressure of 10 to 1,000 kPa.
- 6. A process according to claim 1, wherein the reaction of allyl acetate with chlorine is carried out at a molar ratio of chlorine to allyl acetate ranging from 0.001 to 1.5.
- 7. A process according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst comprises at least one metal selected from the metals of Groups 1 to 15 of the long-form Periodic Table or at least one metal compound containing said at least one metal.
- 8. A process according to claim 7, wherein said at least one metal compound is selected from metal halides and oxides.
- 9. A process according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst is a supported catalyst.
- 10. A process according to claim 1, wherein the catalyst is used blended with a filler.
- 11. A process for producing dichloropropanol comprising:
- a first step of reacting allyl acetate with chlorine in a gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst to produce dichloroacetoxypropane; and
- a second step of subjecting dichloroacetoxypropane obtained at the first step to hydrolysis or alcoholysis to produce dichloropropanol.
- 12. A process according to claim 11, wherein allyl alcohol is used for the alcoholysis.
- 13. A process for producing dichloropropanol comprising:
- a first step of reacting allyl acetate with chlorine in a gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst to produce dichloroacetoxypropane;
- a second step of subjecting dichloroacetoxypropane obtained at the first step to hydrolysis or alcoholysis to produce dichloropropanol; and
- a third step of dehydrochlorinating dichloropropanol obtained at the second step to produce epishlorohydrin.
- 14. A process according to claim 13, wherein allyl alcohol is used for the alcoholysis.
