abstract |
The invention concerns a method for obtaining 1,1,1,3,3-pentachlorobutane which consists in reacting carbon tetrachloride with 2-chloroprop-1-ene in the presence of a copper (I) or (II) compound as telomerisation catalyst. Advantageously, a polar compound can be present in the reaction mixture as solvent and an amine, an amide or a trialkylphosphine amide as co-catalyst. |
