Abstract

Isobutane was prepd. with high selectivity from CH4 via chloromethane reaction with Ga0 suspended in a molten-salt or ionic liq. medium, without catalysts. The molten-salt medium comprises AlCl3, LiCl, [Me3NCH2C6H5]Cl. During the reaction, hydrogen and GaI and GaIII chlorogallate species are formed. The latter can be electrochem. reduced back to Ga0 in a subsequent step. The chlorine liberated in this Ga0 regeneration can be used for the synthesis of chloromethane feedstock from methane.
