Abstract

When solutions of trichloromethylsulfenyl chloride, Cl~3~CSCl, in alkanes are exposed to sunlight, alkyl chlorides, hydrogen chloride and hexachlorodimethyl disulfide are formed:

An advantage of this novel chlorination method is the high selectivity, which is even further increased in the presence of benzene. The disulfide may be reconverted to the sulfenyl chloride by molecular chlorine in a separate step.

A radical chain mechanism is proposed for the reaction in which trichloromethylthiyl and alkyl are the chain‐carrying radicals.

## Abstract The photochlorination of some alkyl chlorides with trichloromethylsulfenyl chloride has been investigated. Product distributions and reactivities relative to alkanes were determined. The results show the importance of polar effects and can be correlated with the polar substituent consta
