PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HYDROCARBYL HALIDES

摘要

Described is a process for the preparation of hydrocarbyl metal halides, such as alkyl tin chlorides, in which a reaction between the metal in its metallic state and a hydrocarbyl halide is catalyzed by a dihydrocarbyl sulfoxide or a dihydrocarbyl formamide in the presence of a hydrocarbyl metal halide and wherein the pressure of the reaction vessel is varied during the reaction.
