We report that U₃O₈, UO₂(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, and UO₂Cl₂ react with hexachloropropene (HCP) to give UCl₄ in 60, 100, and 92% yields, respectively, and report a protocol to recycle the HCP. This renders the preparation of UCl₄ more accessible and sustainable. 2,5-Dichlorohexachlorofulvene has been identified as a significant by-product from these reactions.
