A study was carried out on the oxidative chlorination of 1,1-dichloroethane at 350-450/sup 0/C and of 1,1,2-trichloroethane at 375-450/sup 0/C on an aged CuCl/sub 2/-KCl catalyst. The rates of transformation of both these chloroethanes is proportional to their partial pressures. In addition, the rate of transformation of 1,1,2-trichloroethane depends on the partial pressure of chlorine to the 0.5 power. Vinyl chloride is formed in the oxidative chlorination of ethane from 1,1- and 1,2-dichloroethanes. The single pathway for the reaction of vinyl chloride is its additive chlorination to yield 1,1,2-trichloroethane. The results obtained were used to describe the transformations of ethyl chloride to yield ethylene and dichloroethanes. 3 figures, 4 tables.
