Abstract
The substitution chlorination reactions of organic compounds are carried out by means of molecular chlorine, using, as a radical initiator, decachlorobutane or an octachlorobutane such as octachlorobut-1-ene or a mixture containing these two products. Good degrees of conversion and good yields are obtained at moderate temperatures. The process is, for example, applicable to the substitution chlorination of benzene and of chloroform.
