Abstract

Identification of the products of free-radical chlorination of cyclohexane seems to be a complex analytical problem due to the following principal reasons: (1) the available reference information (both standard mass spectra and gas chromatographic retention indices, RI) is strongly restricted to the data for only few simplest congeners, (2) mass spectra of isomeric chlorinated derivatives are practically indistinguishable, and (3) the number of isomers increases with the growing number of chlorine atoms in the molecule until six. To solve this problem, the modified additive scheme for precalculation of the RIs of chlorinated cyclohexanes on standard non-polar polydimethyl siloxane stationary phases was proposed and used. This approach is based on the data for congeners with fewer number of chlorine atoms in the molecule; the principal feature is its applicability to a diastereomers. The final set of both experimental and precalculated RI values permits us to identify unambiguously more than 20 products of cyclohexane chlorination in reaction mixtures. Different modes of the quality control of evaluated retention indices are discussed.
