Abstract

Ultraviolet initiated liquid phase oxidation of neat trans-1, 2-dichloroethene (1 a) with oxygen at 30° C afforded ca. 45% of the combined Cl-products CO, CO2, and phosgene as well as nine oxygenated and nine non-oxygenated chlorinated organic products. Major oxygenated products were cis-and trans-2, 3-dichlorooxirane (6 a, b) and 1, 2, 2-trichloroethyl formate (13); minor products were eg, meso and rac bis (1, 2, 2-trichloroethyl) ether (11 c, d) and ...
