PREPARATIVE RADIATION CHEMISTRY : THE REACTIONS OF HYDROCARBONS WITH PHOSPHORUS TRICHLORIDE AND OTHER INORGANIC CHLORIDES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH ENERGY ELECTRONS
Hydrogen chloride is eliminated and organic phosphorus dichlorides, dichlorophosphine oxides, arsenic dichlorides, and silicon trichlorides are formed in the irradiati on of mixtures of various hydrocarbons with phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus oxychloride, arsenic trichloride, and silicon tetrachloride, respectively. The yields of these products have been found to amount often to 40 to 50% of the reacted material at conversions of 20 to 30%. Although these processes do not occur as chain reactions they often are useful for laboratory preparation of those compounds. Some by-products of these reactions have been determined. Hot H and Cl atoms are postulated as intermediates of the reactions to explain the unexpectedly high relative yields of the above mentioned reaction products. (auth)
