<p>A process for the production of nuclear chlorinated alkylbenzenes comprises reacting, in the liquid phase, an alkylbenzene with chlorine in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst and a co-catalyst comprising a thianthrene compound or mixture of thianthrene compounds characterized by the formula: <IMAGE> where each n is 0 to 1, and each x is hydrogen or an electron-withdrawing substituent with the proviso that at least one x is an electron withdrawing substituent. The monochlorinated alkylbenzene products prepared in this manner are characterized by a desirably low ratio of ortho to para isomer.</p> |
