The chlorination of ethylene in the liquid phase to form 1 : 2‐dichlorocthanc (ethylene dichloride), has been investigated in some detail, catalysts such as antimony trichloride and ferric chloride being employed, at temperatures between 4° and 44° c. The effect of excess of either reactant has been studied, and the use of mixtures of ethylene with methane tried. The influence of sunlight and water in these reactions, and the formation of by‐products such as 1:1: 2‐trichloroethonc and β‐β′‐dichlorodiethyl ether, arc discussed.
