The stable products of radiolysis of 1,4-dichlorobutane (1,4-DCB) and 1,4-dichlorobutene-2 (1,4-DCB-2) gamma-irradiated in an oxygen-free atmosphere were investigated. The pure products of radiolysis were separated by preparative gas chromatography and identified by N MR and mass spectroscopy as well as qualitative gas chromatography. The compounds formed were determined by potentiometric analysis and quantitative gas chromatography. From the 1,4-DCB we have obtained in the gas phase: HCI, CHsCI, 1-chlorobutane and the 1,3-and 1,4-isomers of dichlorobutane; in the liquid phase: 1,3-dichlorobutane, 1,1,4-and 1,2,4-isomers of trichlorobutane, the dimer and trimer of the initial compound. From the 1,4-DCB-2 we have found in the gas phase: HCI and cis, trans-isomers of the initial compound; in the liquid phase: 3,4-dichlorobutene-1, 1,2,4-trichlorobutane and a mixture of the oligomers of 1,4-DCB-2 (dimer and trimer). On the basis of the results obtained a preliminary scheme for the formation of the stable products is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
