Usage

General Description

1,2-Dichloroisobutane is a chemical compound with the formula C4H8Cl2. It is a colorless liquid with a mildly sweet aroma, and it is used as a solvent and intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is also used as a pesticide, as a fumigant for stored grains, and as an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. 1,2-Dichloroisobutane is considered to be hazardous to human health, as exposure to high levels of the chemical can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It is also considered to be a potential environmental hazard, as it is toxic to aquatic life and can persist in the environment for a long time. Therefore, proper precautions should be taken when handling and using this chemical.

Method for co-producing methyl chloropropene and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane by chlorination of isobutene

The invention discloses a method for co-producing methyl chloropropene and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane by chlorination of isobutene. According to the method, a chlorination reaction is carried out on chlorine or a mixture of chlorine and inert gas and excessive isobutene to obtain products, namely methyl chloropropene and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane. The method can reduce influence of micro-mixing on arapid chlorination reaction of isobutene, decarburization and coking do not occur easily, and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane can be co-produced while the yield of methyl chloropropene is improved.

Visible Light-Induced Oxidative Chlorination of Alkyl sp3 C-H Bonds with NaCl/Oxone at Room Temperature

A visible light-induced monochlorination of cyclohexane with sodium chloride (5:1) has been successfully accomplished to afford chlorocyclohexane in excellent yield by using Oxone as the oxidant in H2O/CF3CH2OH at room temperature. Other secondary and primary alkyl sp3 C-H bonds of cycloalkanes and functional branch/linear alkanes can also be chlorinated, respectively, under similar conditions. The selection of a suitable organic solvent is crucial in these efficient radical chlorinations of alkanes in two-phase solutions. It is studied further by the achievement of high chemoselectivity in the chlorination of the benzyl sp3 C-H bond or the aryl sp2 C-H bond of toluene.
