INVESTIGATION IN THE FIELD OF UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS. V. ANOMALOUS CHLORINATION OF ETHYLENE COMPOUNDS CONTAINING A CHLORINE ATOM AT THE DOUBLE BOND

The liquid-phase chlorination of isomeric dichlorobutenes in a nonpolar medium was investigated in the presence of tert-butylpyrocatechol and without additions.The addition of tert-butylpyrocatechol leads to an increase in the yield of the products from anomalous chlorination and to a decrease in the yield of the products from normal addition.Increase in temperature during the chlorination of dichlorobutenes in the absence of tert-butylpyrocatechol promotes the formation of the normal addition products.It was suggested that the anomalous reaction, which leads to chlorides of the allyl and vinyl types, takes place by a molecular mechanism while the normal addition reaction takes place by both mechanism (molecular and radical).
