The free-radical chlorination of 1-substituted alkanes with electron-withdrawing substituents by N-chloropiperidine in trifluoroacetic acid was studied by the method of competing reactions, and the relative rate constants were obtained for all positions of the substrates.The data on the position selectivity can be described satisfactorily by means of an electrostatic model of the polar effect of the substituent, calculated according to the Kirkwood-Westheimer equation.The obtained characteristics of the electrostatic effect can be successfully applied to calculation of the substrate selectivity and the intermolecular relative rate constants for all the positions, beginning with the third.The Taft equation is unsuitable for description of the effect of substituents on the reaction rate.

The free-radical chlorination of 1-chloroalkanes between C3 and C6 at 263 deg K was studied under conditions with wide variation in the concentrations of the substrates in benzene.By analysis of the products from chlorination of the pure substrates it was shown that the deactivating effect of the polar substituent does not extend beyond the third carbon atom and is mainly determined by the inductive effect.In the transition to an aromatic solvent the deactivating effect on the substituent extends to the fourth carbon atom.The results are substantiated in terms of a contribution from dipole-dipole interaction between the substituent and the polar form of the transition state to the polar effect of the substituents.

The competing chlorination of chloropropanes in o-dichlorobenzene was investigated over a wide range of temperatures and o-dichlorobenzene concentrations.The selective action of o-dichlorobenzene is interpreted by a mechanism involving attack on the C - H bond in the chloropropanes by free chlorine atoms and by aromatic ? complexes ArH -> Cl.Mathematical models of the selectivity of the processes based on the proposed mechanism were obtained.The parameters of the models reflect the relative reactivity of the C - H bonds during chlorination by chlorine atoms and ArH-> Cl complexes and also the capacity of the solvent for complex formation with chlorine atoms.
