Abstract

Results Chloromethanol and dichloromethanol were prepared by the UV irradiation of CHSOH-CI~ mixtures in N2 diluent. Figure lA, B shows spectra acquired at Ford before and after a 2-s irradiation of a mixture of 98 mTorr of Clz and 14.8 mTorr of methanol. The loss of methanol was 4.07 mTorr (28%). Subtraction of CH3OH features from Figure 1 B yields the product spectrum C. Product features wereokervedat 959, 1083, 1318, and 1374 cm-'. ...
