Picrates. Some halogen derivatives of the higher aromatic hydrocarbons form picrates (for experimental details, see under Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Section IV,9, 1), for example, a-chloronaphthalene (m.p. 137°), a-bromonaphthalene (m.p. 134°), and p-bromonaphthalene (m.p. 86°). 

The toxicity of chloronaphthalenes requires that special attention and caution be used during their manufacture and use acne is the most common result of excessive skin exposure to them and the most frequendy affected areas are the face and neck (16). Liver damage has occurred in workers who have been exposed repeatedly to vapors, particulady to those of penta- and hexachloronaphthalene [1335-87-1] (17,18). Uses for the chlorinated naphthalenes include solvents, gauge and instmment duids, capacitor impregnants, components in electric insulating compounds, and electroplating stop-off compounds.

PPS is well-recognized for its exceptional chemical resistance. There are no known solvents for PPS below 200°C. A comprehensive survey of solvents for PPS has been published (115). Extreme conditions are required to dissolve PPS in both common and exotic solvents. Solution viscosity measurements are made difficult by this high temperature requirement. Inherent viscosity measurements are performed in 1-chloronaphthalene at 206°C at a concentration of 0.4 g of polymer per deciliter of solution. The inherent viscosity of PPS solutions shows a usefiil response to increa sing molecular weight. Table 2 shows a correlation of inherent viscosity measurements with melt flow measurements. 

Like the PCBs, most of the commercial PCNs were complex mixtures of isomers and congeners, although two products, namely monoPCN and Halowax 1051/N-Wax 80, contained primarily 1-chloronaphthalene [90-13-1 J, C qH CI, and octachloronaphthalene [2234-13-1] C QClg, respectively. 

Although the thermodynamic aspects of acylotropy are well documented, there have been few kinetic studies of the process. The activation barrier is much higher than for prototropy and only Castells et al. (72CC709) have succeeded in observing a coalescence phenomenon in H NMR spectra. At 215 °C in 1-chloronaphthalene the methyl groups of N-phenyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole-l-carboxamide coalesce. The mechanism of dissociation-combination explains the reversible evolution of the spectra (Scheme 9).

The chemical resistance of the linear polymers is also very good. Resistant to most acids, aqueous bases, hydrocarbons, most halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols and phenols, they are attacked by concentrated sulphuric acid, formic acid, some amines, benzaldehyde, nitromethane and a few other reagents. They will dissolve in 1-chloronaphthalene at elevated temperatures but in general have excellent solvent resistance. The polymer is cross-linked by air oxidation at elevated temperatures.

Column performance is maintained during solvent exchange. Hhr and SuperH columns are compatible with the following solvents acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1-chloronaphthalene, o-chlorophenol.
