Abstract
A process for converting 3,3-dichloropropene in an intermediate boiling byproduct stream from a process of making allyl chloride by the chlorination of propylene to cis- or trans-1,3-dichloropropene or a mixture of these, wherein the 3,3-dichloropropene is contacted in the liquid phase with an alumina, silica or zeolite catalyst, characterized in that the alumina, silica or zeolite catalyst is selected to possess a predominance of basic sites as associated with a high alkali or alkaline earth metals content, for increased conversion and productivity and reduced catalyst deactivation rates.
