The free-radical chlorination of 2,3-dimethylbutane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, adamantane, and cyclohexane by arylchloroiodonium chlorides was investigated by the method of competing reactions.It was shown that the introduction of electron-withdrawing substituents into the arylchloroiodonium chloride leads to an increase in the sensitivity of the process to the polar effect of the substituents in the substrate and to a decrease of the selectivity toward variation in the dissociation energy of the C - H bond.The importance of steric effects in the reaction was noted.
