Abstract

The chlorination at room temperature of alkanes, aromatics, alkylaromatics, olefins with hypochlorous acid shows two competitive processes in the absence of freeradical initiators: a free-radical chain chlorinatinn and an electrophilic process, whenever this last is structurally possible. The factors affecting this competition, the mechanism of the free-radical chain involved, the selectivity and the synthetic potentiality of this new procedure of free-radical chlorination are discussed.
