Synthetic method 2, 4 and 5 - trimethyl chlorobenzene

The invention relates to an electrochemical halogenation method of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, in particular to a method for preparing 2, 4, 5-trimethylchlorobenzene by taking unsym-trimethylbenzene as a raw material through direct electrolytic synthe

Chlorination and oxidation products formed from 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene in aqueous solution under the action of chlorine dioxide

Products of the reaction of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene with chlorine dioxide in aqueous solution were studied. A scheme of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene transformations was suggested. The influence exerted on the number of the reaction products by the ClO2 dosage and time of its contact with the substrate was examined.

Halogenation Using Quaternary Ammonium Polyhalides. XIX. Aromatic Chlorination of Arenes with Benzyltrimethylammonium Tetrachloroiodate

The reaction of arenes with a calculated amount of benzyltrimethylammonium tetrachloroiodate in acetic acid at room temperature or at 70 deg C gave nuclear chloro-substituted arenes in fairly good yields.

ELECTROPHILIC CHLORINATION OF 2,4,5-TRIMETHYLDIPHENYLMETHANE AND 1-(2,4,5-TRIMETHYLPHENYL)-1-PHENYLETHANE

The chlorination of 2,4,5-trimethyldiphenylmethane and 1-(2,4,5-trimethylphenyl)-1-phenylethane leads to the formation of the products from substitution of the hydrogen atoms at position 3 and 6 by chlorine and the products from ipso-substitution of the benzyl groups.
