Halogenation reaction
Thread Content
So, is there any expert who can explain how to control the formation of chloroisobutane and n-butyl ether when synthesizing chlorobutane?； Thank you
Without a catalyst, the halogenation process lacks significant selectivity, especially for ortho-isomeric organic compounds. Also, if there is no oxygen during the reaction, how are the ethers in your product formed? It’s truly a miracle.
When two molecules of alcohol lose one molecule of water, isn’t that dibutyl ether?
What raw materials are you using? The chlorination of alcohols to produce chloroalkanes offers high selectivity; to control impurities, one can use catalysts and lower the reaction temperature. In the past, DMAP, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, was mainly used in the workshops
