Usage

General Description

Chlorocyclododecane, also known as CCD, is a chlorinated cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C12H23Cl. It is used as a flame retardant and is known for its high thermal stability and low toxicity. It has been widely used in various applications and industries, including in the production of polystyrene foam insulation, electronics, and textiles. However, due to its persistence in the environment and potential for bioaccumulation, there have been concerns about its environmental impact and health risks. As a result, its use has been regulated and alternatives are being sought in many jurisdictions.

An efficient method for chlorination of alcohols using PPh3/Cl3CCONH2

A new and convenient method for the chlorination of alcohols utilizing PPh3/Cl3CCONH2 is addressed. Various alcohols could smoothly be converted into their corresponding alkyl chlorides in high yield under mild conditions with short reaction times. A mechanism is disclosed with the evidence of inversion of configuration of the analogous alkyl chloride derived from R-(-)-2-octanol.

Photocatalytic oxidation of alkanes with dioxygen by visible light and copper(II) and iron(III) chlorides: Preference oxidation of alkanes over alcohols and ketones

Visible light irradiation of alkanes in acetonitrile with CuCl2 and FeCl3 catalysts under atmospheric dioxygen gave the corresponding alcohols and ketones effectively; in these reactions, the total selectivity of the products did not decrease so much with increase of alkane conversion. For example, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone were formed with ca. 70% selectivity at 50% conversion, because overoxidation of the products took place more slowly than cyclohexane oxidation. The relative reactivity values of cycloalkanes increased as their ring-sizes decreased. In the oxidation of hexane, the reactivity ratio of C1-/C2-/C3-H was found to be 1.0/1.4/1.8 with CuCl2 and 1.0/4.6/6.6 with FeCl3, respectively. Toluene and diphenylmethane were more reactive than cyclohexane with FeCl3, as expected, whereas the alkane was oxidized faster than the benzylic compounds in the separate reaction with CuCl2. Moreover, the alkane oxidation could be comparably performed by sunlight instead of an artificial lamp.
