Abstract: | Studies on Sulphochlorination of Paraffins. IX. Regularities of the Sulphochlorination of Branched-chain Paraffins In the cases of 2-methylbutane and 2-methylpentane the formation of tertiary sulphochlorides in the sulphochlorination of the parent hydrocarbons could be established by means of 13C-n.m.r.-spectroscopy. The relative rates of the various C H-bonds in 2-methylbutane, 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane in the sulphochlorination reaction were determined. The relative rates of the tertiary C H-bonds in the sulphochlorination were considerably lower than the corresponding values for the chlorination of the branched-chain paraffins. |
