Abstract
Chloroethanes react with aqueous caustic to yield either elimination or substitution products. The reaction rates were measured for the dichloroethanes, trichloroethanes, tetrachloroethanes, and pentachloroethane between 283 and 353Β°K. The constants of HCl eleminations referring to the rate equation
are given by
all rate constants being in 1./moleΒ·s and R in cal/moleΒ· deg.
With ethyl chloride, 1,1βdichloroethane, and 1,1,lβtrichloroethane, the elimination is not observed and a slow substitution takes place. The influence of chlorine substituents on both sides of the molecule on mechanism and rate parameters is discussed.
