SnCl4/Pb(OAc)4 acts as a safe source of Cl2 for the chlorination of aromatic compounds. A variety of aromatic compounds are effectively chlorinated with SnCl4/Pb(OAc)4 under mild conditions. The mixture is a selective chlorinating agent, particularly with polyalkylbenzenes, polycyclic aromatic compounds and anisoles.
BINARY PHASE CHLORINATION OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS WITH SOLID COPPER(II) CHLORIDE: REACTION MECHANISM.

Anthracene is selectively chlorinated with solid copper(II) chloride to give a quantitative yield of 9-chloroanthracene. The tentative reaction mechanisms so far proposed fail to explain the nonreactivity of some other hydrocarbon homologues, e. g. naphthalene and phenanthrene, toward copper(II) chloride. The present study revealed that the oxidative half-wave potentials (E//1/////2//0//x) of all reactive hydrocarbon homologues were less than 1. 26 V. On the basis of this finding the authors postulate a reaction mechanism involving one electron transfer from hydrocarbon to copper(II) chloride.
