- Chloroacetic acid is mainly made by hydrolysing trichloroethylene in the presence of sulfuric acid:
- CCl2= CHCl + 2 H2O → CH2ClCOOH + 2 HCl
- Dichloroacetic acid is manufactured in small quantities by reducing trichloroacetic acid.
- Trichloroacetic acid is made by directly reacting chlorine with acetic acid using a suitable catalyst.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
