Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9745389A1] Disclosed is a method of making 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. Dichlorobenzene containing less than an isomeric amount of meta-dichlorobenzene is isomerized to produce an isomeric mixture of dichlorobenzenes substantially rich in meta-dichlorobenzene. The isomeric mixture of dichlorobenzenes is chlorinated with gaseous chlorine to produce 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and unreacted dichlorobenzenes. The mixture of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and unreacted dichlorobenzenes is separated by distillation and the unreacted dichlorobenzenes are recycled to the isomerizer.
