This same difference method is used to analyze for the various components in a closely specified blend of poly chlorobenzenes. To serve as a standard, an adequate supply of plant material was very accurately analyzed. This was accomplished by a careful fractional distillation, the fractions from which were analyzed by gas chromatography and by infrared methods. For calibration of the difference method, mixtures of the standard were made up with pure samples of the isomers to be determined. These mixtures were compared with the unaltered standard to obtain absorptivity data for equations similar to (8) above. 

The SnAt reactions were first successfully used in the synthesis of high-molecular-weight poly(arylene etherjs by Johnson et al.4,5 This reaction represents a good example for poly(ether sulfonejs in general, either in laboratory -or industrial-scale preparations. In this procedure, the bisphenol A and sodium hydroxide with an exact mole ratio of 1 2 were dissolved into dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-chlorobenzene. The bisphenol A was converted into disodium bisphenolate A, and water was removed by azeotropic distillation. After the formation of the anhydrous disodium bisphenolate A, an equal molar amount of 4,4,-dichlorodiphenyl sulfone (DCDPS) was added in chlorobenzene under anhydrous conditions and the temperature was increased to 160°C for over 1 h... 

Poly(arylene ether ketone)s can also be modified by introducing the functional groups using similar approaches to polysulfones. For example, poly(arylene ether ketone)s were sulfonated.189 In addition, o-dibenzoylbenzene moieties in the poly(arylene ether)s can be transformed to heterocycles by cyclization with small molecules. These polymers can react with hydrazine monohydrate in the presence of a mild acid in chlorobenzene or with benzylamine in a basic medium.190 Another example of the use of the o-benzyl cyclization strategy is the intramolecular ring closure of poly(arylene ketone)s containing 2,2/-dibenzoylbiphenyl units to form poly(arylene ether phenanthrenes).191...

Zhang developed a monolithic poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) CEC column in which the EOF is supported by carboxyl groups of polymerized methacrylic acid [ 133]. Using benzene as a probe, column efficiencies of 90,000 -150,000 were observed within a flow velocity range of l-10cm/min (0.2-1.7 mm/s). Different families of compounds such as phenols, anilines, chlorobenzenes, phenylendi-amines, and alkylbenzenes were well separated typically in less than 5 min using 20 cm long columns. 

There is a long history of the preparation of explosive solids or oils from interaction of diazonium salts with solutions of various sulfides and related derivatives. Such products have arisen from benzene- and toluene-diazonium salts with hydrogen, ammonium, or sodium sulfides [1,5] 2- or 3-chlorobenzene-, 4-chloro-2-methylbenzene-, 2- or 4-nitrobenzene- or 1- or 2-naphthalene-diazonium solutions with hydrogen sulfide, sodium hydrogen sulfide or sodium mono-, di- or poly-sulfides [l]-[4,7], 4-Bromobenzenediazonium solutions gave with hydrogen sulfide at -5°C a product which exploded under water at 0°C [2], and every addition of a drop of 3-chlorobenzenediazonium solution to sodium disulfide solution...

A completely automated system with reinjection/sample collection and solvent recovery allows the separation of up to 10 g of extract a day. The Cjq is obtained in very high purity and the recovery is nearly 100%. A simple benchtop method for the enrichment of preparative amounts of Cjq, C7Q and higher fullerenes (up to Cjqq) from a crude fullerene mixture is based on a single elution through a column of poly(dibromostyrene)-divinylbenzene using chlorobenzene as mobile phase [208]. 

Another development is due to the interest in polychlorodibenzofurans, spurred by their occurrence as environmental contaminants. Polychloro-phenols are manufactured in large amounts (150,000 tons per annum) and find a wide range of uses. The usual method of manufacture involves the hydrolysis of chlorobenzenes, and side reactions, favored by high temperature, can lead to the production of polychlorodibenzofurans and poly-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxins. The Seveso incident is well known." Polychloro-biphenyls are also widely used industrial chemicals, particularly in heat exchange systems, and their pyrolysis leads to the formation of polychloro-dibenzofurans. Polychlorodibenzofurans have also been detected in the fly ash and flue gases of incinerators and industrial heating plants. The most toxic of the polychlorodibenzofurans are 2,3,7,8-tetra-, 1,2,3,7,8-penta-, and 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran, and an extensive literature exists on the environmental pollution and the results of human exposure to these substances. A particularly tragic example of the latter occurred in 1968 in the Fukuoka prefecture of Japan after consumption of rice oil contaminated with a commercial polychlorobiphenyl. 

To a solution of 40 g (1.0 moles) of sodium hydroxide in 500 ml of methanol was added 242 g (l.Omoles) of 2.6-dichloro-4-bromophenol. The pH was adjusted between 9.0 and 10.0 (preferably 9.5) by means of one or another of the reactants. The pH was determined by diluting a 2.5 g aliquot with 100 ml of 50% aqueous methanol. The alcohol and water were removed by distillation, fn a one liter round bottom flask there was introduced 100 g of the sodium salt of 2.6-dichloro-4-bromophenol, 350 ml of chlorobenzene and 40 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture was agitated until the salt was in solution then immediately there was added 26 ml of dimethylsulfoxide. A suspension forms. The air was removed by alternate evacuation and introduction of nitrogen then there was added 1.0 g of benzoyl peroxide dissolved in 10 ml of toluene. The mixture was stirred for 80 min at 29—33° C then for 5 hours at 54—59° C. The formation of polymer was indicated by the disappearance of the particles of the suspension and an increase in the viscosity of the solution. The polymer was isolated by precipitation into acetone. After filtration the polymer was washed thoroughly with water, then with acetone and then dried at 100° C. There was obtained 60 g (theoretical) of poly-(2.6-dichloro-1.4-phenylene ether). 

Benzene derivatives with two nucleofuges have been used in the preparation of polymeric materials with varying degrees of success. Poly(l,4-phenylene sulfide) has been prepared by condensation of p-di-chlorobenzene with sodium sulfide,99,100 and in a related process, diazonium ions have been shown to initiate the polymerization of p-halobenzenethiolate ions.101 In a preliminary study, poorly characterized polymers were obtained from reaction of equimolar amounts of p-dihalobenzenes and the enolate ions from ketones in the presence of excess base. When an excess of the ketone enolates was used, the normal p-disubstituted derivatives were formed.102... 

The use of chlorobenzene and tetrachloroethane was reported. A surfactant, octa-decanoyl-1,3-propanediamine dioleate, was added to this mixture. The use of 1,2-di-chloroethane and toluene was also reported. c Zerolite 225 is a poly(styrenesuIfonic acid) ion-exchange resin. 

Et2AlCl Catalyst. Under the same conditions as above 20 grams of PVC and 2 grams of cis-1,4-polybutadiene, prepared with an alkyl-aluminum-titanium tetraiodide catalyst system (95% cis-1,4 content, intrinsic viscosity at 25°C in benzene 2.2) in 200 ml chlorobenzene were allowed to react in the presence of 2 mmoles of Et2AlCl at 5°-10°C for 60 minutes. The reaction product was isolated by precipitation in methanol and dried to yield 22.0 grams of modified poly (vinyl chloride). Hexane extraction under reflux for 24 hours removed 8% of hexane-soluble material.
