CHLORÎNATİON OF ACETİC ACİD BY MOLECULAR CHLORINE USING KETENE AND A NEW CATALYST
A new method was described fer the chlorînation of acetic acid. Ketene, at definite time intervals and chiorine was continuously passed through a catalyst bed before reacted with acetic acid. The catalyst consist of silver on silicagel. 78-89 % monochloroacetic acid w as isolated from liquid phase chlorînation of acetic acid fer 9 h in the presence of a new catalyst and ketene.
