Chapter 2 2.5.6 Halogenation [6, Ullmann, 2001, 15, Köppke, 2000, 16, Winnacker and Kuechler, 1982, 18, CEFIC, 2003] See also Section 4.3.2.5 for environmental issues and treatment of waste streams from halogenations. Halogenation is one of the most important and versatile processes in chemistry. The industrial application is dominated by chlorinations, due to the different reactivity and the higher price for bromine, iodine and fluorine. Side chain chlorinated alkyl aromatics, particularly those based on toluene and xylene, as well as nucleus halogenated aromatics, have an exceptional place in organic fine chemistry, because of their role as chemical intermediates in the manufacture of chemical products of almost all kinds, including dyes, plastics, pharmaceuticals, flavours and fragrances, pesticides, catalysts and inhibitors. Bromination is a key process in anthraquinone chemistry and the manufacture of organic flameretardants. Heavily halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons Especially as a result of the environmental persistence of the heavily chlorinated benzenes, toluenes and biphenyls, in recent years drastic measures have been applied to this range of chemicals, such as prohibitions, and restrictions on their production and use, and legislation regulating waste disposal. Possible side reactions of the chlorination process can result in the formation of polychlorinated biphenyls or hexachlorobenzene. The combustion of aromatics containing chlorine can lead to the formation of polychlorodibenzo dioxins/-furans (PCDD/PCDF). Chemical reaction These chemicals are of major relevance on an industrial scale in substitutions of the aromatic nucleus and in the substitution of aliphates. In both cases, hydrogen is replaced by halogen (X) and the related hydrogen halide is created: R – H + X2 � R – X + HX Ar – H + X2 � Ar – X + HX Both reactions are exothermic but the aliphate substitution follows a radical chain mechanism, initialised by ultraviolet light (irradiation with mercury vapour lamps), while the halogenation of the aromatic nucleus is based on an electrophilic mechanism supported by Friedel-Crafts catalysts (i.e. Lewis acids such as FeCl3, AlCl3 …). Generally, a mixture of isomers and/or compounds with a different degree of halogenation is obtained and side reactions following alternative mechanisms cannot be completely suppressed. The product mix depends on the aromatic/halogen ratio, the reaction conditions and the choice of the catalyst. A wide range of organic and aqueous solvents are currently in use, and especially tetrachloromethane, tetrachloroethane, dichlorobenzene and trichlorobenzene are recommended for halogenations [6, Ullmann, 2001]. 48 Dezember 2005 OFC_BREF
Chapter 2 Bromine is more efficiently used in aromatic substitution reactions if it is generated in situ from hydrogen bromide using chlorine: ArH + HBr + Cl2 � ArBr + 2 HCl Another approach is the use of an alcohol as the solvent to co-produce an economically useful alkyl bromide, by the reaction of by-product HBr with the alcohol. Methanol is the solvent of choice since the resulting methyl bromide can be widely marketed as a fumigant. Side chain chlorination of toluenes Side chain chlorination is applied in particular to toluenes, to give the analogue benzyl chlorides, benzyl dichlorides and benzyl trichlorides. The reaction follows the radical chain mechanism and leads in every chlorination step to the formation of hydrogen chloride. The process yields a mixture of all three products, with the product mix depending mainly on the toluene/chlorine ratio.
