Mass spectra of methoxychlorobenzenes (chloroanisoles)
1988
Electron impact mass of all 19 ring-substituted chloroanisoles have been investigated. The fragmentation pathways were elucidated with the aid of the 1st field-free region metastable ions. The greatest disparity between the spectra of the positional isomers is shown with the [M−CH 3 ] + and [M−CH 2 O] +• ions, i.e., the ortho and para isomers preferentially lose • CH 3 , whereas the meta isomers generally show both loss of • CH 3 and elimination of formaldehyde, the latter process being more dominant with the meta-monochloro and di- and trichloro isomers having two meta-chlorine atoms. Characteristic for all isomers is also the abundant M +• and [M−CH 3 −CO] + ions, the other fragmentation …
Kinetics of homogeneous catalytic chlorination of acetic acid
2007
The kinetics of the chlorination of acetic acid (HAc) to monochloroacetic acid (MCA) and the physical solubility of chlorine in HAc and its mixtures with MCA were investigated in a laboratory scale semibatch reactor. The temperature dependence of the Henry's constant was determined from solubility data obtained at temperatures between 70°C and 110°C. The kinetic experiments were performed at 75–100°C with 3–13 mol % acetyl chloride (AcCl) and 0–5 weight % H2SO4 added as catalysts. Gas chromatography was used to determine the concentrations of HAc, MCA, dichloroacetic acid and AcCl during the experiments. The results indicate that the reaction rate is independent of the concentrations of HAc…
