Abstract
Synthesis and kinetics of dichloro-methoxybenzenes were studied from 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and sodium methoxide in a temperature range of 353–383 K. Effects of molar ratio of reactants, solvent and reaction temperature were investigated. Reaction products include three isomers. The order of selectivity for the three isomers was 1,4-dichloro-2-methoxybenzene>>2,4-dichloro-1-methoxybenzene>1,2-dichloro-4-methoxybenzene. Kinetic equations for the parallel liquid-solid interface reaction between 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and sodium methoxide were established in the absence of catalyst. Kinetic parameters such as the pre-exponential factors and the activation energy were determined with the Arrhenius equation.
