Abstract:
A process for producing (D) a chlorinated hydrocarbon compound of the general formula (2):C.sub.n R.sup.1.sub.m H.sub.k (CR.sup.2 R.sup.3 Cl).sub.j (2)[wherein n is an integer of 1 to 12, m and k each independently is an integer of 0 to 25, j is an integer of 1 to 10; R.sup.1 represents an atom selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, iodine, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus and, when m is 2 or more, the two or more R.sup.1 groups may be the same or different, the group C.sub.n R.sup.1.sub.m H.sub.k having a valence of j does not contain any tertiary carbon-hydrogen bond; and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each independently represents a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a group derived therefrom by substitution of a halogen atom or atoms for some hydrogen atom or atoms thereof and not containing a tertiary carbon-hydrogen bond], which comprises adding (C) a protic acid to a mixture of (A) a compound of the general formula (1):C.sub.n R.sup.1.sub.m H.sub.k (CHR.sup.2 R.sup.3).sub.j (1)and(B) an aqueous solution of a metal hypochlorite.
