PROCESS FOR PREPARING MONOCHLOROETHYLENE CARBONATE AND SUBSEQUENT CONVERSION TO VINYLENE CARBONATE

摘要

Processes for preparing monochloroethylene carbonate include reacting ethylene carbonate with chlorine gas in a liquid phase under irradiation of UV light and introducing a separate feed of an inert gas into the liquid phase. Monochloroethylene carbonate may be subsequently converted to vinylene carbonate.
