Correlation of Alkyl and Polar Groups in the Gas-Phase Pyrolysis Kinetics of β-Substituted Ethyl Chloride

The gas-phase pyrolysis kinetics of several β-alkyl-substituted ethyl chlorides were studied in a static system over the temperature range of 400.1-470.1 deg C and a pressure range of 32-317 torr.The reactions in seasoned vessels, with the radical chain i

Studies on Sulphochlorination of Paraffins. IX. Regularities of the Sulphochlorination of Branched-chain Paraffins

In the cases of 2-methylbutane and 2-methylpentane the formation of tertiary sulphochlorides in the sulphochlorination of the parent hydrocarbons could be established by means of 13C-n.m.r.-spectroscopy.The relative rates of the various C-H-bonds in 2-methylbutane, 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane in the sulphochlorination reaction were determined.The relative rates of the tertiary C-H-bonds in the sulphochlorination were considerably lower than the corresponding values for the chlorination of the branched-chain paraffins.
