Usage

Chemical Properties

Colorless or slightly yellow liquid. Slightly soluble in water; soluble in alcohol and ether.

Uses

1-Chloro-3-Methylbutane, usually also containing normal amyl chloride. Solvent (nitrocellulose, varnishes, lacquers, neoprene), rotogravure inks, soil fumigation, organic compounds.

Definition

Any of several compounds or mixtures thereof may be referred to by this name, since numerous isomers are possible, the most common of which is 1-chloro- 3-methylbutane. Combustible.

Purification Methods

Shake the chloride vigorously with 95% H2SO4 until the acid layer no longer becames coloured during 12hours, then wash it with water, saturated aqueous Na2CO3, and more water. Dry it with MgSO4, filter and fractionally distil it. Alternatively, a stream of oxygen containing 5% of ozone is passed through the chloride for a time, three times longer than is necessary to cause the first coloration of starch iodide paper by the exit gas. Subsequent washing of the liquid with aqueous NaHCO3 hydrolyses the ozonides and removes organic acids. After drying and filtering, the isoamyl chloride is distilled.

Oxidation of monohydric and dihydric alcohols with CCl4 catalyzed by molybdenum compounds

Mo(CO)6 catalyzed oxidation of alcohols and diols with tetrachloromethane. Primary oxidation products in reaction of alcohols with CCl4 are alkyl hypochlorites, and final products depending on the structure of initial alcohol are aldehydes (as acetals), ketones, chloroketones, and esters.

Oxidative alkoxylation of zinc phosphide in alcoholic solutions of copper(II) chloride

Oxidative alkoxylation of Zn3P2 with the formation of valuable phosphoric and phosphorous acid esters occurred at a high rate and with a high selectivity in alcoholic solutions of CuCl2 under the action of oxygen at 30-60°C. Depending on the nature of the alcohol, two products were formed, namely, trialkyl phosphates (RO)3PO and dialkyl phosphites (RO)2HPO. Water favored the formation of dialkyl phosphates (RO)2(HO)PO. The kinetics and mechanism of the new catalytic reaction were studied, and the optimal conditions for conducting this reaction were found. The reaction proceeded in a topochemical mode by a separate redox mechanism.

CHLORINATION OF PHOSPHINE IN ALCOHOLS

Trialkyl phosphates are rapidly and selectively formed when dilute gaseous PH-Ar and Cl2-Ar mixtures are passed into alcohols (ROH, R=Bu, i-Bu, Am, i-Am, Oct) at 50-70 deg C.Analogous results are obtained in the presence of pyridine at 8-25 deg C.The reaction was studied by gas chromatography, 31P NMR spectroscopy, and potentiometry.The reaction was shown to pass successively through the stages of the chlorination of phosphine to PCl5, the alcoholysis of phosphorus pentachloride to phosphoryl chloride, and finally by the esterification of phsophoryl chloride to trialkyl and dialkyl phosphates.Pyridine, excess af alcohol, and high temperature accelerate the stage of the esterification of phosphoryl chloride to the trialkyl phosphate.
