An improved process for the production of dichloroacetyl chloride by liquid phase photooxidation of trichloroethylene with oxygen or air in the presence of a catalytic amount of free chlorine or bromine to yield a mixture of dichloroacetyl chloride and trichloroethylene oxide is disclosed herein. The improvement in the process being conducting the reaction in the presence of a catalytic amount of primary or secondary amides, preferably dimethylformamide, which causes the trichloroethylene oxide to rearrange exothermically to dichloroacetyl chloride. |
