Abstract

It has been found that these chlorinations were for the most part highly directed; and that this orientation could readily be predicted by means of the heretofore neglected London dispersion effect, which in turn is conveniently measured by the known atomic refractivities of the halogens. The relation between structure and the reactivities of specific hydrogen atoms has been discussed, and a number of new and interesting halo-hydrocarbons have ...
