Carbon tetrachloride is the byproduct of methane chlorination device, according to the Montreal Protocol, except raw material use, reagent use and special exemption use, completely stop the production and consumption of carbon tetrachloride. Therefore, carbon tetrachloride is utilized comprehensively, such as being synthesized into tetrachloropropane, which has very important practical significance.

[0003] 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane is mainly synthesized by ethylene and carbon tetrachloride in industry:

[0004] CH2=CH2+CCl4→CCl3-CH2-CH2Cl
