Chlorine dioxide olefins

Chlorine heptoxide is more stable than either chlorine monoxide or chlorine dioxide however, the CX C) detonates when heated or subjected to shock. It melts at —91.5°C, bods at 80°C, has a molecular weight of 182.914, a heat of vapori2ation of 34.7 kj/mol (8.29 kcal/mol), and, at 0°C, a vapor pressure of 3.2 kPa (23.7 mm Hg) and a density of 1.86 g/mL (14,15). The infrared spectmm is consistent with the stmcture O CIOCIO (16). Cl O decomposes to chlorine and oxygen at low (0.2—10.7 kPa (1.5—80 mm Hg)) pressures and in a temperature range of 100—120°C (17). It is soluble in ben2ene, slowly attacking the solvent with water to form perchloric acid it also reacts with iodine to form iodine pentoxide and explodes on contact with a flame or by percussion. Reaction with olefins yields the impact-sensitive alkyl perchlorates (18). 

Typically, intense chemiluminescence in the UV/Vis spectral region requires highly exothermic reactions such as atomic or radical recombinations (e.g., S + S + M - S2 + M) or reactions of reduced species such as hydrogen atoms, olefins, and certain sulfur and phosphorus compounds with strong oxidants such as ozone, fluorine, and chlorine dioxide. Here we review the chemistry and applications of some of the most intense chemiluminescent reactions having either demonstrated or anticipated analytical utility.

Chlorine dioxide exhibits a spectrum of reactivities toward organic compounds which is considerably different from the spectra exhibited by other oxidants commonly employed in the laboratory. In most cases, however, there is not enough information available to permit quantitative comparisons. For instance, it would appear that olefins react more rapidly with permanganate (k - lO -lO /T sec ) (66) than with chlorine dioxide (142, 143), whereas triethylamine is nearly 10 times as reactive with chlorine dioxide (186) as with permanganate (185). Among organic compounds extensively investigated thus far, the most reactive with chlorine dioxide are aliphatic tertiary amines (42, 103, 104, 186, 187) and phenols (1, 29,... 

Photocatalytic oxidation over illuminated titanium dioxide has been demonstrated to be effective at removing low concentrations of a variety of hazardous aromatic contaminants from air at ambient temperatures. At low contaminant concentration levels and modest humidity levels, complete or nearly complete oxidation of aromatic contaminants can be obtained in photocatalytic systems. Although aromatic contaminants are less reactive than many other potential air pollutants, and apparent catalyst deactivation may occur in simations where recalcitrant reaction intermediates build up on the catalyst surface, several approaches have already been developed to counter these potential problems. The introduction of a chlorine source, either in the form of a reactive chloro-olefin cofeed or an HCl-pretreated catalyst, has been demonstrated to promote the photocatalytic oxidation of... 

The effect of trace contaminants on the reaction has been investigated carefully. All uncondensed effiuent gases were recycled to the reactor, except for the amounts present in the streams taken off for analysis or flashed upon depressuring of the organic phase. Aqueous phase from the separator containing the water soluble by-products has been used as the water feed to the reactor. Hydrogen chloride containing chlorinated hydrocarbons and acetylene was used in all operations. In addition, certain possible impurities were tested for their effect on the kinetics and selectivity of the process. Paraffins, carbon monoxide, sulfide, carbon dioxide, alkali, and alkaline earth metals were found to be chemically inert. Olefins, diolefins and acetylenic compounds are chlorinated to the expected products. No deleterious effects of by-product recycle were observed even when some of the main by-products were added extraneously. 

Detergents, which now rival soap in demand, are based largely on petroleum the variety of structures which confer detergent properties have led to some interesting syntheses. Alkyl aryl sulfonates are made by alkylation of benzene either with chlorinated kerosene or with a highly-branched olefin made from propylene. Long chain olefins for secondary sulfates were made from paraffin wax. Secondary alkyl sulfonates were made by direct sulfonation of paraffins with sulfur dioxide and chlorine, a reaction discovered in America in the 193O s. 

Olefins readily form addition products88 with such substances as hydrogen chloride,8 hypochlorous arid, 1 chlorine,8 nitrogen tetroxide, 1 sulfur dioxide,e etc. Most of the reactions of this type are, however, conducted in the liquid phase because of greater ease of control of operating conditions. 

The dichlorodithionitronium cation C1SNSC1+ also serves as a masked SNS+ species because it undergoes cycloaddition reactions with alkynes and olefins. For example, reaction of the dichlorodithionitronium salt with ethyne and propyne in sulfur dioxide below room temperature affords the expected [3+2] cycloadducts 100. Most likely, an intermediate dichloro cycloadduct 99 is formed, which loses chlorine to form the isolated cycloadduct. 

U.v. irradiation of trifluoromethyl hypochlorite gives bistrifluoromethyl peroxide in 91% yield, together with chlorine and carbonyl fluoride, but similar decomposition of the next higher homologue yields essentially an equimolar mixture of carbonyl fluoride and chlorotrifluoromethane. Carbon monoxide, - sulphur dioxide, - and olefins - insert readily into the O—Cl bonds of polyfluoroalkyl hypochlorites to yield chloroformates, chlorosulphates, and ethers, respectively treatment of...
