Some old controversies in the literature with regard to the structures of trichlorothiophenes have been elucidated.In the course of these studies, we found that the best method for the preparation of 2,3,5-trichlorothiophene is the direct chlorination of thiophene in the presence of catalytic amounts of ferric chloride.If 2,5-dichlorothiophene is available 2,3,5-trichlorothiophene can also be obtained in good yields through chlorination with thionyl chloride and sulfuryl chloride, using aluminum trichloride as catalyst.
Sulfonation of aromatic compounds in the presence of solvents
-
, (2008/06/13)
A process for the sulfonation of aromatic compounds wherein an aromatic substance consisting of one or more aromatic compounds susceptible to the action of sulfur trioxide is formed into a reactant by admixture with one or more organic liquids, substantially inert to sulfur trioxide under the conditions of the process, which reactant is brought to boiling at a temperature not greater than 100° C under a pressure of from 0.1 mm Hg to atmospheric pressure, gaseous sulfur trioxide is introduced thereinto thereby causing it to continue to boil, the component or components of the reactant thus volatilized is or are reconverted to liquid in a heat-exchanger and recycled to the reaction chamber, and the pressure in the reaction chamber and the rate at which the gaseous sulfur trioxide is introduced into the reactant are controlled so as to ensure that there is always present in the reaction chamber an amount of volatilizable matter exceeding that amount volatilizable by the heat of reaction of the aromatic substance present in the reaction chamber with the gaseous sulfur trioxide in contact with said aromatic substance and that the temperature of the reaction mixture is a temperature of 100° C or below.
