At elevated temperature ethane undergoes a radical substitution with chlorine to give ethyl chloride and hydrogen chloride. The hydrogen chloride generated adds to ethylene to give a second mole of ethyl chloride.
At 400°C the equilibrium position of the addition of chlorine ethylene (to give 1,2-dichloroethane) lies to the left.Industrial Organic Chemistry, 3rd. Ed. K. Weissermel, H.-J. Arpe, VCH (1997)
