Abstract

Results The chlorination of the 1-chlorobutanes was carried out in the liquid phase using sulfuryl chloride with peroxide catalyst as the chlorinating agent. j After preliminary studies, experiments were performed on each compound, using 5 or 10 moles of the chlorohydrocarbon to each mole of the chlorinating agent. In this way the formation of higher chlorides usually was maintained below 5% of the total chlorination product. The reactions ...
