2,2,4-Trimethylpentane chlorination

Photochemical chlorination of 2 2 4 trimethylpentane gives four isomenc monochlorides... 

Additionally, the bound fraction of numerous further anthropogenic contaminants were investigated by quantitation of the extractable and nonextractable matter. The selection of the contaminants (including chlorinated and brominated naphthalenes, 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, mono-and dibrominated phenols, phthalates, tri-n-butylphosphate, 2,4,4-trimethylpentane-l,3-dioldi-Ao-butyrate, bisphenol A, butylated nitrophenols, 4-nitrobenzoic acid, galaxolide and tonalide) was based on the results of extended GC-MS-screening analyses applied to the extracts of the sediment samples as well to the extracts derived from selective chemical degradation procedures. 

Chlorinated paraffins (mainly CPVC) are widely used in PVC to have greater resistance to ignition and combustion than general purpose plasticisers. Hovewer, the effects of chloroparaffins on health is still a controversial issue and its use as flame retarders in PVC applications for flooring are decreasing [41]. For cushion vinyl flooring applications, several phthalates such as DOP are used due to its cost and the safety provided, BBP or di-isoheptyl phthalate as well as plastisols of PVC plasticised with 2,2,4-trimethylpentan-1,3-diol di-isobutyrate are also used. 

The painstakingly precise kinetic investigation of solvolysis of sul-phur(vi)—chlorine bonds alluded to in the first volume of this Specialist Periodical Report has been extended to include a series of 4-substituted benzenesulphonyl chlorides. In this case values of AG, A, and AG, of AC from dAH ldT, and even of d C ldT, have been reported. An Gn2 mechanism with a trigonal-bipyramidal transition state is indicated. The variation of rates with substituents and solvent composition (in aqueous dioxan) for another series of benzenesulphonyl chlorides also indicates an 5 2 mechanism, except in the case of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-sulphonyl chloride, where an S l mechanism seems more likely. Kinetic solvent isotope effects, D2O vs. H20, for hydrolysis of substituted benzenesulphonyl chlorides have been determined and contrasted with those for analogous organic chloride soIvolyses. Kinetic data have also been obtained for hydrolysis of methane- and ethane-sulphonyl chlorides in methanol, ethanol, and ethanol-benzene, -carbon tetrachloride, and -2,2,4-trimethylpentane solvent mixtures. These results have been discussed in terms of the effects of solvation of initial and transition states on reactivities. ...
