| production method | dissolve acetophenone in glacial acetic acid, pass in dry chlorine gas, control the reaction temperature not to exceed 60 ℃ until the reaction liquid turns yellow, and the chlorination process takes about 4-5h. The reactants are treated with ice water, and the oily 2, 2-dichloroacetophenone is separated from the water. |
