The introduction of chlorine atoms into organic molecules is fundamental to the manufacture of industrial chemicals, the elaboration of advanced synthetic intermediates and also the fine-tuning of physicochemical and biological properties of drugs, agrochemicals and polymers. We report here a general and practical photochemical strategy enabling the site-selective chlorination of sp3 C?H bonds. This process exploits the ability of protonated N-chloroamines to serve as aminium radical precursors and also radical chlorinating agents. Upon photochemical initiation, an efficient radical-chain propagation is established allowing the functionalization of a broad range of substrates due to the large number of compatible functionalities. The ability to synergistically maximize both polar and steric effects in the H-atom transfer transition state through appropriate selection of the aminium radical has provided the highest known selectivity in radical sp3 C?H chlorination.
Direct Oxidation of Alkanoic Acids and their Amides to γ-Lactones by Peroxydisulphate-containing Systems

The reaction of one-electron oxidation of alkanoic acids (I) and their amides (VI) on treatment with Na2S2O8-containing systems has been studied.As a result of the direct one-pot reaction acids (I) and amides (VI) are converted into γ and δ-lactones, the reaction being regioselective and leading mainly to γ-lactones in up to 35percent yield.The regioselectivity of the oxidative lactonisation depends greatly on the nature of alkyl substituents.The results obtained are presented in terms of a mechanism suggesting the generation of acyloxyl and amidyl radicals from (I) and (VI), respectively, followed by a rearrangement via a 1,5- or 1,6-H shift into the corresponding 3- and 4-carboxy- or -carboxamido-alkyl ra The latter undergo oxidative cyclisation to produce γ and δ lactones.The system Na2S2O8-NaCl-NaOH converts carboxamides (VI) into amines with loss of one carbon atom as a result of a Hoffmann type rearrangement.

The chlorination of pentanoic, 3-methylbutanoic, 2-methylbutanoic and 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acids and their derivatives with chlorine in the liquid phase have been investigated.The monochloro products formed were determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS) as their esters through the comparison with authentic samples.The deactivation of position 2 decreases in the order COCl > CO2H > CO2CH2Cl > CO2CH3, the effect of the COCl-group in pentanoic acid derivatives being 4.3 times stronger than that of the CO2CH3-group.The deactivation is smallest in 2-methylbutanoic acid derivatives owing to the electron-donating methyl group.The EI mass spectra of the methyl and chloromethyl esters have been studied in detail.
