How it is made
2,2-Dichloropropionic acid can be made by chlorination of propionic acid, propionaldehyde, or propanol.
Dichloropropionic acid is produced by the direct chlorination of propionic acid in the presence of catalysts. Alkali salts are prepared by contacting 2,2-dichloropropionic acid with an essentially dry alkali compound of an alkali metal in a liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon as a reaction medium, and thereafter separating in its solid phase an alkali salt of 2,2-dichloropropionic acid.
