Regarding the reaction between methanol and hydrochloric acid
Thread Content
In industrial production processes, it is indeed the case that methanol (in aqueous solution) reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce chloromethane (without a catalyst), but there are also reports in the literature on the preparation of methanol hydrochloride solutions. What’s going on? What conditions are required for the reaction between methanol (aqueous solution) and hydrochloric acid? Thank you!
No one pays attention, I’ll handle it myself.
Temperature: methanol, concentrated hydrochloric acid, 100 degrees
