Azobisisobutyronitrile (ABIBN) is used as an initiator of radial reactions, including chlorination of chloroaliphatic and alkylaromatic compounds. A mechanism of ABIBN decomposition in the presence of chlorine is proposed which studied chlorination of ABIBN in carbon tetrachloride by molecular chlorine. It was found with the aid of gas chromatography - mass spectrometry that the reaction mass contained 12 products of ABIBN decomposition. They can be subdivided into four groups in accordance with their structure and possible routes of formation.
