✦ Synopsis
The products of aqueous chlorination reactions of tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (fluorene, carbazole, dibenzofuran, anthracene, phenanthrene and some methyl derivatives) with hypochlorite have been determined by gas chromatographymass spectrometry. They included chloro-substituted, oxygenated (quinones) and hydroxylated (phenols) compounds, and products of addition which were readily formed at ambient temperature. The extent of the reactions was shown to depend on the chlorine dose, the solution pH, the initial concentrations of both compounds and the structures. Monochlorinated compounds and quinones were shown to be present in chlorinated water under the conditions utilized for water treatment.
' Relative retention time and mass spectrum are identical to those of the authentic compound.
