General Description

3-Chlorodecane, also known as chlorodecane, is a colorless liquid chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H21Cl. It is a type of chlorinated alkane with a ten-carbon chain and a chlorine atom attached to one of the carbon atoms. 3-Chlorodecane is used primarily as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. It is also used in the manufacturing of surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers. The compound is flammable and may release toxic fumes when heated. It is important to handle 3-Chlorodecane with caution and use appropriate safety measures when working with it.

Chlorination of hydrocarbons with CCl4 catalyzed by complexes of Mn, Mo, V, Fe

Catalytic chlorination of alkanes, cycloalkanes, and adamantane utilizing tetrachloromethane as the source of chlorine and applying catalysts containing manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, and iron activated with nitrile ligands, alcohols, and water was fulfilled. The optimum ratios of catalysts and reagents and the best reaction conditions were found for selective synthesis of chlorine-substituted hydrocarbons derivatives. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2013.

Proton acceptor site selectivity in the proton transfer from heptane radical cations to decane molecules in γ-irradiated heptane/decane/ 1-chloroheptane crystals at 77 K

A study is made of the yield and isomeric composition of chlorodecanes formed by γ-irradiation of heptane/decane/ 1-chloroheptane crystals at 77 K and subsequent warming. It is observed that in such systems 2-chlorodecane is predominantly formed with smaller yields of the other chlorodecane isomers, in isomers, in analogy with observations of γ-irradiated CCl3F/decane. The selective formation of 2-chlorodecane is attributed to proton transfer from heptane radical cations to decane molecules, (n-C7H16·+ + n-C10H22→ 1-C7H15· + n-C10H23+), followed by neutralization of the so-formed protonated decanes by chloride ions upon warming. The results confirm that, when different secondary C-H bonds in neutral n-alkane molecules are directly accessible to the planar chain-end C-H bonds in n-alkane radical cations from which proton donation takes place, proton transfer occurs preferentially to the penultimate position (intrinsic acceptor site selectivity). Comparison of the isomeric composition of the chlorodecanes in heptane/decane/1-chloroheptane and CCl3/decane, on the other hand, clearly points to structurally-determined acceptor site selectivity with respect to the inner C-H bonds of decane in the heptane system.
