A highly selective catalytic hydrochlorination process for glycerol and / or monochloropropanediols to 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol and 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol to dichloropropanols, comprising: Process at a reaction temperature in the range of −140 ° C. with continuous removal of reaction water in at least one continuous reaction zone, the liquid feed comprising at least 50% by weight of glycerol and / or monochloropropanediols . This process can be carried out in a cascade of continuously operated one-step circulating reactors or liquid-gas type continuous flow reactors. |
