The chemistry of sulfenyl halides: Part II: Photochlorination of alkanes with trichloromethylsulfenyl chloride

摘要: The photochlorination of some alkyl chlorides with trichloromethylsulfenyl chloride has been investigated. Product distributions and reactivities relative to alkanes were determined. results show the importance polar effects can be correlated substituent constants σ*. A chlorine atom reduces reactivity a neighbouring carbon-hydrogen bond by factor 45. at other positions correspond loss 1.6. methyl group exerts slight activating effect. A correlation NMR chemical shifts suggests that differences in methylene groups hydrocarbons, as reported Part II 2, are also due effects.
