Halodimethylsulfonium halide 1, which is readily formed in situ from hydrohaloic acid and DMSO, is a good nucleophilic halide. This activated nucleophilic halide rapidly converts aryldiazonium salt prepared in situ by the same hydrohaloic acid and nitrite ion to aryl chlorides, bromides, or iodides in good yield. The combined action of nitrite ion and hydrohaloic acid in DMSO is required for the direct transformation of aromatic amines, which results in the production of aryl halides within 1 h. Substituted compounds with electron-donating or -withdrawing groups or sterically hindered aromatic amines are also smoothly transformed to the corresponding aromatic halides. The only observed by-product is the deaminated arene (usually <7%). The isolated aryldiazonium salts can also be converted to the corresponding aryl halides using 1. The present method offers a facile, one-step procedure for transforming aminoarenes to haloarenes and lacks the environmental pollutants that usually accompany the Sandmeyer reaction using copper halides. Key words: aminoarenes, haloarenes, halodimethylsulfonium halide, halogenation, amination.

High-pressure vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the binary mixtures of CO 2 +n-butanol were measured at various isotherms of (313.15, 323.15, 333.15 and 343.15) K, respectively. The equilibrium compositions of vapor and liquid phases and pressures at each temperature were measured in a circulation-type equilibrium apparatus. To facilitate easy equilibration, both vapor and liquid phases were circulated separately in the experimental apparatus and the equilibrium composition was analyzed by an on-line gas chromatograph. The experimental data were compared with literature results and correlated with the Peng-Robinson (PR) equations of state using the Wong-Sandler mixing rules. Calculated results with the PR EOS showed good agreement with our experimental data.

In the presence of ZnCl 2 , 1,4-conjugated addition of anthrone with ,-unsaturated ketones proceeded to give mono-Michael adducts, whereas in basic solution it gave bis-Michael adducts.
