The use of ethane as a platform molecule for the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a longstanding challenge, which would allow to reduce the raw material costs and CO2 emissions to produce this plastic. Herein, we discover that rare earth oxychlorides catalyze in a selective (up to 90 %) and stable (50 h on stream) manner the reaction of ethane and molecular chlorine into 1,2-dichloroethane, which, upon established cracking, will translate into an order of magnitude higher vinyl chloride productivity compared to eth
