1.2- Dichloroethane, reaction with oxygen atoms

The basic properties of the oxygen atoms in the nitrate ion seem to contribute to the formation of covalent nitrates, such as copper(II)-nitrate 31), as demonstrated by the reaction of the nitrate ion with boron(III) fluoride in dichloroethane 28) ... 

The reactions of ethyl hippurate 352 with l,2-diimidoyl-l,2-dichloroethanes 353 afforded 6-imino-6//-l,3-oxazines 354 by regioselective cyclization via the carbon and oxygen atoms of the dianion formed by the dilithiation of 352... 

In case of atomic oxygen reactions the formation of formaldehyde was found to be characteristic for all compounds studied (naturally except NH3 and CO). As a rule, but not always, the main reaction is the formation of formaldehyde. For example, for dichloroethane the reaction proceeds with scission of the carbon bond, but CH2O does not appear to be the main reaction product. As the dichloroethane molecule contains chlorine, the main product will be HC1. The formation of a... 

Structure of Aldehyde.—It has been seen how the reactions into which aldehyde enters can be explained on the assumption that the structure of its molecule is that which has been assigned to it. The conversion of aldehyde by the action of phosphorus pentachloride into dichloroethane of the structure CH3.CHCI2 is strong evidence that the oxygen which is present in aldehydes is joined to a single atom of carbon. The fact that aldehyde may be prepared by heating ethylidene chloride with water,—...
