On December 31, 1996, Peng, Xioojun; Pan, Shiwei; Zhou, Zhuohua published an article.SDS of cas: 15258-72-7 The title of the article was GC/MS study of synthesis of α,α,2,6-tetrachlorotoluene. And the article contained the following:
The chlorination mechanism of 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene (A) to α,α,2,,6-tetrachlorotoluene (D) has been studied by CM/MS. It is found that Cl attacks α-H of A at first with the formation of an intermediate, α,2-dichloro-6-nitro-toluene (B) which turns subsequently to α,2,6-trichlorotoluene (C) through denitrochlorination. C is then chlorinated on α-H and forms D. The experimental process involved the reaction of 1-Chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-3-nitrobenzene(cas: 15258-72-7).SDS of cas: 15258-72-7
The Article related to chlorotoluene preparation, toluene tetrachloro preparation, chloronitrotoluene chlorination gc ms, Benzene, Its Derivatives, and Condensed Benzenoid Compounds: Halides and Halonium Compounds and other aspects.SDS of cas: 15258-72-7
