The present invention relates to a synthesis method and synthesis reactor of high-selectivity 2-methylallyl chloride by taking isobutylene and chlorine gas as raw materials and performing a gas-phase chlorination reaction in a microchannel reactor with a cooling surface. The isobutylene and the chlorine gas are reacted in a T-shaped microchannel reactor, and the mixing speed is extremely fast. Meanwhile, the huge heat exchange area per unit volume can ensure that the reaction proceeds stably at a substantially constant temperature and has good controllability. Therefore, side reactions caused by excessive local temperature can be effectively suppressed, the reaction selectivity is high, and no coking phenomenon occurs.

A new chromium-containing fluorination catalyst is described. The catalyst comprises an amount of zinc that promotes activity and from 0.1 to 8.0% by weight of the chromium in the catalyst based on the total weight of the chromium is present as chromium (VI). The use of the zinc-promoted, chromium-containing catalyst in a fluorination process in which a hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon is reacted with hydrogen fluoride in the vapour-phase at elevated temperatures is also described.

The present invention provides a direct oxidation method for saturated hydrocarbon bonds in an organic compound. The method allows an organic compound with a saturated hydrocarbon bond to react with an oxidizing reagent in the presence of cerium complex under visible light irradiation, thus oxidizing the saturated hydrocarbon bond to afford an oxidation product. The present reaction only needs to be carried out at room temperature, while the reaction efficiency remains high. In addition, only visible light is required to provide the energy for activation, rendering the present strategy is a milder and greener reaction method. The cerium catalyst used in the method is low in cost, simple and efficient, while the oxidizing reagent used is also stable in nature and low in industrial cost, rendering the catalytic system highly practical. Furthermore, environmental pollution caused by heavy transition metals and peroxides can be avoided in such strategy.
