The Elimination Reaction of Chlorobutane over Some Molten Salts

Abstract
The elimination reactions of hydrogen chloride from 1-chlorobutane and 2-chlorobutane over molten salts (ZnCl2, SnCl2, CuCl melts) have been studied by using both a microreactor and a conventional flow reactor. The preferential formation of cis-2-butene in the reaction of 2-chlorobutane can be explained in terms of the stereochemistry of the surface-adsorbed carbonium ion.
