Terminal chlorination of normal alkane hydrocarbons

A terminally chlorinated normal alkane hydrocarbon is produced at high terminal selectivity, by adsorbing a normal alkane into a select zeolite and chlorinating the adsorbed alkane in the zeolite. The zeolite may be of a type having internal channels of diameter slightly larger than that of the alka...

Zusammenfassung:A terminally chlorinated normal alkane hydrocarbon is produced at high terminal selectivity, by adsorbing a normal alkane into a select zeolite and chlorinating the adsorbed alkane in the zeolite. The zeolite may be of a type having internal channels of diameter slightly larger than that of the alkane, and substantially no internal chambers, and may be selected from the pentasil family of zeolites. The chlorination reaction may be conducted under heating to enhance terminal selectivity even further, in many cases to levels approaching 100%.
