1- and 2-nitrobutanes have been chlorinated in the gas phase and in solution.The intermediate nitrobutyl radicals with the nitro-group in a β-position are unstable and in the gas phase lose NO2 to yield the corresponding butene.The relative rates of attack at the various sites have been determined.The nitro-group proves to be the most deactivating non-ionic substituent studied so far.
