A NEW PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF CARBOXYLIC ACID CHLORIDES

摘要

A new process for the preparation of carboxylic acid chlorides by reaction of tetrachloroethylene carbonate with a carboxylic acid of formula R(COOH)n at a temperature of between 80 DEG and 160 DEG C. …The radical R can be very varied and n is an integer which can asssume the values 1 to 4. …A solvent is not necessary. A catalyst may be employed. …The acid chlorides are obtained in a high purity.
