ABSTRACT. Catalytic transformations of CCl4 in a flow-type system in vapors under 150-230oC in the presence of carbon supported Pd catalysts after special treatment has been studied. Under such conditions not only hydrodechlorination products were formed, but also a mixture of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons having chain-length up to C5. The main products were methane , ethane+ethylene , propane + propene , isomeric butanes and butenes , and small amount of CH3Cl and neo-pentane. Conversions of CCl4 are high, up to 90%. The formation of structural isomers of C3, C4 and C5 is in agreement with the radical scheme of the reaction. This work was maintained by RFBI through Grant No.98-03-32159a.
