Summary
-
1.
It has been shown that, when trialkyl phosphites, react with hexachloroethane, the corresponding alkyl chlorides and dialkyl phosphorochloridates are formed together with tetrachloroethylene.
-
2.
It has been established that trialkyl phosphites may be used as dechlorinating agents for highly chlorinated paraffins.
