Synthesis and properties of trichloromethyl- and 3,3-dichloroallyl mercury compounds

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    Trichloromethylmercury bromide was synthesized by reaction between mercury and bromotrichloromethane in presence of radiation; the product was converted by the usual methods into trichloromethylmercury hydroxide, chloride, and iodide.

  2. 2.

    Phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury was synthesized by reaction of trichloromethylmercury bromide with dichlorodiphenyltin in an alkaline medium. Reaction of the product with hydrogen chloride gave phenylmercury chloride, which indicates the high electronegativity of the trichloromethyl group, as compared with that of the phenyl group.

  3. 3.

    Trichloromethylmercury halides form complex compounds with pyridine. The double compound of pyridine with trichloromethylmercury bromide survives recrystallization and has the composition CC13HgBr · C5H5N.

  4. 4.

    The complex-formers ammonia and hydrogen sulfide completely destroy trichloromethylmercury halides.

  5. 5.

    3,3-Dichloroallylmercury iodide was synthesized by reaction between 1,1-dichloro-3-iodopropene and mercury in presence of ultraviolet radiation; the product was converted by the usual methods into 3,3-dichloroallylmercury chloride and bromide.
