CHEMICAL COMPOUND CONTAINING ALKALINE OR ALKALINE EARTH METALS, CATALYST CONTAINING SAME, AND A TRANSFORMING AND PARTICULARLY SOLVOLYZING METHOD USING SAID CATALYST

摘要

The invention relates to chemical compounds and their use as catalysts in the solvolysis of alkyl halides. The chemical compounds, when dry, have formula (I): (EO4M)x(Imp)p(I) wherein E is selected from the group consisting of phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth, and is preferably phosphorus, and M is a metal or a mixture of metals. Imp corresponds to a basic impregnating compound consisting of alkaline earth metal, or preferably alkali metal, and their mixtures in combination with a counter-anion to ensure electrical neutrality. The coefficient p is between 10-2 and 1/3.
