Polyhalogenated

Another difficulty in this reaction lies in the preparation of pure chloroacetaldehyde. The low yield observed is due to simultaneous formation of by-products (polyhalogenation). So vinylchloride was used as a starting material for this synthesis (449). A simpler method is to react chlorine with vinylchloride in aqueous solution and then to dehydrate the semihydrated chloroacetaldehyde by distillation through a column of calcium chloride heated to 70 to 90 C (451). 

Because alkyl halides are insoluble m water a mixture of an alkyl halide and water sep arates into two layers When the alkyl halide is a fluoride or chloride it is the upper layer and water is the lower The situation is reversed when the alkyl halide is a bro mide or an iodide In these cases the alkyl halide is the lower layer Polyhalogenation increases the density The compounds CH2CI2 CHCI3 and CCLi for example are all more dense than water... 

The photolysis of polyhalogenated compounds forms the basis for another monochrome system. Iodoform can undergo photolysis to produce hydrogen iodide, which subsequendy reacts with a di(2-furfuryl) derivative (3) and aromatic amines to produce a colored dye adduct (4) (29). The photolysis scheme and subsequent reactions can be shown by the following ... 

Ha.logena.tlon, One review provides detailed discussion of direct and indirect methods for both mono- and polyhalogenation (20). As with nitration, halogenation under acidic conditions favors reaction in the benzenoid ring, whereas reaction at the 3-position takes place in the neutral molecule. Radical reactions in the pyridine ring can be important under more vigorous conditions. 

Condensation of vinyl chloride with formaldehyde and HCl (Prins reaction) yields 3,3-dichloro-l-propanol [83682-72-8] and 2,3-dichloro-l-propanol [616-23-9]. The 1,1-addition of chloroform [67-66-3] as well as the addition of other polyhalogen compounds to vinyl chloride are cataly2ed by transition-metal complexes (58). In the presence of iron pentacarbonyl [13463-40-6] both bromoform [75-25-2] CHBr, and iodoform [75-47-8] CHl, add to vinyl chloride (59,60). Other useful products of vinyl chloride addition reactions include 2,2-di luoro-4-chloro-l,3-dioxolane [162970-83-4] (61), 2-chloro-l-propanol [78-89-7] (62), 2-chloropropionaldehyde [683-50-1] (63), 4-nitrophenyl-p,p-dichloroethyl ketone [31689-13-1] (64), and p,p-dichloroethyl phenyl sulfone [3123-10-2] (65). 

Heterocychc compounds range from those, such as furan which is readily halogenated and tends to give polyhalogenated products, to pyridine which forms a complex with aluminum chloride that can only be brominated to 50% reaction (23). 

Because of the unusual reactivity of the DCPD molecule, there are a number of wide and varying end use areas. The primary uses in the U.S. are DCPD-based unsaturated polyester resins (36%) hydrocarbon type resins, based on DCPD alone or with other reactive olefins (39%) EPDM elastomers via a third monomer ethylidenenorhornene or DCPD (16%) and miscellaneous uses (9%), including polychlorinated pesticides, polyhalogenated flame retardants, and polydicyclopentadiene for reaction injection mol ding (39). 

If the reaction mixture does not solidify during the heating, it is well to work it up at once while it can still be poured from the flask. Otherwise the work-up can be postponed to the next day. If the reaction mixture is too difficult to remove from the flask, the acid-ice slurry can be added all at once to the reaction flask immersed in ice. The vigorous surface decomposition is thus partly quenched. However, the cake is seldom difficult to remove unless polyhalogenation has occurred. 

Polyhalogenated solvents all stabilize the initial state (relative to DMF), but have varied effects on the transition state. [Note particularly No. 28, tetrachlo-roethane, which shows no net solvent effect relative to DMF, yet profoundly... 

The oxidation of sulphones leads to either a sulphonic acid (or a sulphonic acid derivative) or to sulphate. Such reactions have rarely been used for the preparation of sulphonic acids since these are usually readily available by other well-established routes. However, polyhalogenated sulphones can be oxidized relatively easily to sulphonic acids and these reactions will be discussed here. 

Products containing two or more phosphorous acids can be prepared from polyhalogenated compounds see Eq. (30).

In 1979, it was stated that poiybrominated aromatic ethers have received little attention (ref. 1). That statement is still applicable. Analyses to characterize this class of commercial flame retardants have been performed using UV (refs. 1-2), GC (refs. 1-6), and GC-MS (refs. 1-4). The bromine content of observed peaks was measured by GC-MS, but no identification could be made. The composition of poiybrominated (PB) diphenyl ether (DPE) was predicted from the expected relationship with polyhalogenated biphenyl, a class which has received extensive attention. NMR (refs. 3-6) was successfully used to identify relatively pure material which had six, or fewer, bromine atoms per molecule. A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method described (ref. 1) was not as successful as GC. A reversed phase (RP) HPLC method was mentioned, but no further work was published.

The refractory nature of some pollutants, notably, persistent polyhalogenated compounds, has raised problems of bioremediation of contaminated sites (e.g., sediments and dumping sites). There has been interest in the identification, or the production by genetic manipulation, of strains of microorganisms that can metabolically degrade recalcitrant molecules. For example, there are bacterial strains that can reductively dechlorinate PCBs under anaerobic conditions.
