Liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of CCl4 with co-production of diethylcarbonate and acetal
Liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of CCl4 oversupported Pd or Pt catalysts in the presence Of C2H5OH gave not only the selective synthesis of CHCl3, but also conversion Of C2H5 OH to diethyl carbonate (DEC) and 1,1-diethoxyethane (acetal: DEE).
