Conversion of methyl chloride to acetone

  • From the given data it can be inferred that the reactant is methyl chloride and the product is acetone.
  • The process with which acetone is obtained from methyl chloride is called a acetone process.
  • When formaldehyde (HCHO) is reacted with methyl chloride (CH_3Cl) in its vapor phase it leads to the production of acetone and hydrogen chloride.
  • During this process, acetaldehyde is formed as intermediate product.
  • Thus methyl chloride can be converted to acetone by treating it with formaldehyde.
  • The chemical equation involved in the reaction is as follows:

HCHO + 2 CH_3Cl\rightarrow CH_3COCH_3+HCl
