Tetrachloride and chlorobenzene

Crude sulfur vesicants are relatively stable and stability increases with purity Distilled materials show very little decomposition on storage. Solvents such as carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene have been added to enhance stability of crude material. Agents can be stored in glass or steel containers, although pressure may develop in steel containers. Sulfur vesicants rapidly corrode brass and cast iron, and permeate into ordinary rubber. 

The calculated values are from the mixture rule c pi+p =ciPi+C2P2i where Pu Pi are the weights of the components with specific heats ci and C . The mixture rule is closely obeyed by mixtures of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, benzene and carbon tetrachloride, and chlorobenzene and bromo-benzene, but mixtures of chloroform and acetone have smaller specific heats than the calculated. Jamin and Amaury found with alcohol-water mixtures fliat the increase in specific heat is proportional to the density increase due to. contraction, and the same result was found for water-acetic acid mixtures by von Reiss.3... 

Kohnstamm s Experiments.—In order to test the correctness of the conclusion arrived at by Van der Waals, Kohnstamm (6) has determined the vapour pressures of various mixtures of carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene, the critical pressures of which, 34,180 mm. and 33,910 mm., are nearly equal, and he finds that the curvature is not very marked.

When the solvent takes part in acid-base phenomena, the reactions are usually displacement reactions. Considering only acid-base reactions, solvents may be divided into three classes (1) those that are ordinarily inert toward acids and bases, e.g., benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and chlorobenzene (2) those that are ionizable, e.g., water, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, phosgene, and selenium oxychloride (3) those that do not ionize but do react with acids and bases, e.g., ether and pyridine. If we consider the neutralization of boron trichloride by triethylamine in the three types of solvents, we find that the net result may be the same as when the neutralization occurs in the absence of a solvent ... 

This h)rpothesis has, however, been supported. The o p-ratio in chlorobenzene was found to be lower when acetic anhydride was the solvent, than when nitric acid or mixed acids were used. The ratio was still further reduced by the introduction into the solution of an even less polar solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, and was increased by the addition of a polar solvent such as acetonitrile. The orientation of substitution in toluene in which the substituent does not posses a strong dipole was found to be independent of the conditions used. The author...

With the exception of chlorobenzene and 1,2-dichloroethane, halocarbon solvents are unsuitable diluents, as carbon tetrachloride and chloroform may react violently with alkylalumimum derivatives. The hazards of individually mixing 7 alkyla-luminiums with 7 chlorinated solvents have been assessed comparatively. Most of a series of cyclic coordination complexes between triethylaluminium and a-iminoketones decomposed violently when dissolved in halogenated solvents.

Thus, N-nitrosoacetanilide yields benzene in hexane and chlorobenzene in carbon tetrachloride. 

A limitation of both methods is that the second component must be liquid at the temperature of-the reaction, which is 5-10° for the diazohydroxide reaction and room temperature or slightly higher for the nitrosoacetylamine reaction. Experiments with solid reactants in solution have not been very successful, because of the difficulty of finding a suitable solvent. The solvent should be neutral and immiscible with water, have a high solvent action and reasonably low boiling point, and be inert to the free radicals which result from the diazo compound. The last qualification is the most difficult one to satisfy. Of the solvents which have been tried, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform appear to be the most suitable.18 From diazotized aniline and biphenyl in these solvents, some p-terphenyl is obtained, and from diazotized p-nitroaniline and biphenyl a small amount of 4-nitro-4 -phenylbiphenyl is formed. In these reactions an appreciable amount of tfie aryl halide (chlorobenzene and p-nitrochlorobenzene) is produced as a by-product. In general, the yields of products obtained by coupling with reactants in solution are extremely low. 

The photolability of nitrobenzenes has previously received comment, and reactions in the presence of carbon tetrachloride and diethanolamine have now been studied. In the former system the main products are chlorobenzene and hexachloroethane, with smaller amounts of CHCh, COCI2, and C2CI4. Nitrobenzene is photoreduced in the presence of the amine to give phenyl-hydroxylamine. The reaction is enhanced six-fold in the presence of 0.1 M benzophenone and is considered to proceed by way of hydrogen abstraction by the triplet nitro-arene from diethanolamine (which is degraded to glyoxal).

Recently Bartlett and Shimizu"3 demonstrated that triplet acetone derived from dioxetane lb chemisensitized the decomposition of benzoyl peroxide in carbon tetrachloride, affording chlorobenzene, which exhibited a photo-CINDP effect. Finally, we observed that the / -peroxylactone (60) afforded exclusively tetramethylethylene oxide when chemisensitized by lb, as shown in Eq. (46).116... 

The reaction was carried out at various temperatures in benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene or carbon tetrachloride at 70-120°C (depending on boiling temperature of solvent) temperature. Apparently from the data of Table 1, 2 and Fig. 1, during epoxidation reaction in identical conditions, the highest yield of dioxirine are achieved in case of carrying out of reactions in carbon tetrachloride and the least - in benzene. 

The young North American chemical industry had not been able to enter the coal-tar chemical business founded by the British because of the domination by the German cartel. But the door to this opportunity swung wide open during the war. Hooker built the first monochlorobenzene plant in the U.S. in 1915. Warner, Dow and others were already selling chlorine as carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. Dow was soon to follow with chlorobenzene, phenol, indigo and others, and they all impacted chlor-alkali consumption. The future of this important segment of the electrochemical industry was clearly in the hands of these new uses for chlorine. 

Solvent use is controlled by both state and federal regulations. The federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 mandate controls on solvent use in the industry. Almost all organic solvents are classified as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) under Title I of the 1990 Amendments and these regulations will require further reductions in future solvent use. Title III of the 1990 Amendments contains a long list of substances considered Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Many of the halogenated solvents are on the HAP list. The solvents discussed in this chapter and that are on the HAP list include methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dibromoethane, bromoform, and chlorobenzene.
