Chlorination of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives. VIII. Liquid Phase Chlorination of the Aliphatic C5-Carboxylic Acids and Their Chlorides, Methyl Esters and Chloromethyl Esters with Chlorine

The chlorination of pentanoic, 3-methylbutanoic, 2-methylbutanoic and 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acids and their derivatives with chlorine in the liquid phase have been investigated.The monochloro products formed were determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS) as their esters through the comparison with authentic samples.The deactivation of position 2 decreases in the order COCl > CO2H > CO2CH2Cl > CO2CH3, the effect of the COCl-group in pentanoic acid derivatives being 4.3 times stronger than that of the CO2CH3-group.The deactivation is smallest in 2-methylbutanoic acid derivatives owing to the electron-donating methyl group.The EI mass spectra of the methyl and chloromethyl esters have been studied in detail.
