Phenols, anisoles, anilines, and related compounds are chlorinated in trifluoroacetic acid at room temperature by N-chlorodialkylamines and N-chlorotrialkylammonium salts.With monsubstituted compounds and their 2- and 3-substituted derivatives the reaction occurs efficiently and selectively at the 4-position.The reactivity of these substrates and the selectivity of their chlorinations are determined by electronic rather than steric effects of the substituent.Blocking the reaction with a substituent at the 4-position generally leads to only poor or moderate yields of the 2-chlorinated product.Evidence for radical and cation radical intermediates has been obtained in the reactions of some of the 4-substituted reactants and the mechanism of chlorination is discussed in the light of these findings.The reactions of selected substrates have been scaled up to give laboratory syntheses.
Formation of Nonaromatic Products in the Chlorination of Simple Substituted Aromatic Ethers

The neat chlorination of 4-chloroanisole produces 1,3,4,5,6-pentachloro-4-methoxycyclohexene in 35percent yield.Mono- and dichlorinated anisoles and a variety of simple substituted anisoles were chlorinated to determine the generality of nonaromatic product formation. 3,4-Dichloroanisole, 4-fluoroanisole, 4-bromoanisole, 4-methylanisole, and 4-chlorophenetole form similar products based on their spectral properties.These products are proposed to form by a cis-1,2-chlorine addition followed by rapid cis-1,4 chlorine addition.On the basis of the NMR data, a predominate configuration is proposed.
