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.

The chlorination of methyl ester with chlorine in the liquid and vapor phase and with sulfuryl chloride in the liquid phase has been investigated.The chlorination yields all possible monochloro esters isomers with the 2-chloro isomer in the smallest amount.The products were identified by NMR and mass spectrometry.The isomer distribution and mass spectra of products were studied in detail.
