Chloride Hydrolysis Investigated in Micro Reactors

3 Chloride Hydrolysis Investigated in Micro Reactors Organic synthesis 2 [OS 1] Hydrolysis of benzal chloride 

By reaction of sulfuric acid and benzal chloride benzaldehyde is generated. Both reactants are rather viscous and immiscible leading to the above mentioned reaction problems [46]. Due to temperature increase and too long reaction times, side reactions such as the oxidation to benzoic acid occur. 

This reaction is basically similar to [OS 1], but is expected to differ in reactivity owing to the I- and M-effects of the fluoro group. 

This hydrolysis is accompanied by strong changes in IR absorption, particularly concerning a considerable shift of the carbonyl group peak (from 1791 to 1738 cm ) [21].
