Abstract
The kinetics of chlorination of toluene, o‐methyl toluene, p‐methyl toluene, m‐methyl toluene, and m‐chlorotoluene by chloramine‐T(CAT) in aqueous acetic acid in the presence of HClO~4~ have been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to [CAT] as well as [H^+^]. The order with respect to the substrate is unity in the case of toluene and m‐chlorotoluene, fractional in the case of o‐methyl toluene and p‐methyl toluene, and zero order in the case of m‐methyl toluene. Nuclear halogenation has been observed with m‐methyl toluene, while nuclear and side‐chain halogenation for p‐methyl toluene and o‐methyl toluene, and sidechain halogenation for toluene and m‐chlorotoluene are the pathways. An increase in the proportion of acetic acid accelerates the rate. Added acetate ions inhibit the reaction, and added p‐toluene sulfonamide causes a pronounced retardation. A mechanism involving AcO^+^HCl as the important electrophile is discussed.
