THE MERCURIC CHLORIDE CATALYSED CONDENSATION OF ARSENIOUS CHLOR-IDE WITH ACETYLENE By \I. E. JOXES, R. J. ROSSER, nnd F. N. \VOOD\VAHI) Lcwisitc I, relatively frec from lcwisitcs I1 and 111, is rcadily obtained by passing acctylenc into a mixture of arscnious chloride and a solution of mercuric chloridc in cithcr 18:; hydrochloric acid or saturated sodium'cldoride solution. In the lartcr case, the arsenious chloride is diluted with carbon terrachloride. Under optimum conditions the yield is 80-859:, calculatcd on thc arsenious chloridc consumed. In both cascs B-cblorovinylmercuric chloride m.p. rtg", is an intcrmcdia~e and this is most rcadily obtained by passing acetylene into a solution of mercuric chloridc in aqucous sodium chloride containing a littlc hydrochloric acid.
