  2. Chlorobenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorobenzene

    Chlorobenzene (abbreviated PhCl) is an aryl chloride and the simplest of the chlorobenzenes, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with one chlorine atom. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 5 Cl. This colorless, flammable liquid is a common solvent and a widely used intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals.

  3. Photochlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochlorination

    Photochlorination is a chlorination reaction that is initiated by light. Usually a C-H bond is converted to a C-Cl bond. Photochlorination is carried out on an industrial scale. The process is exothermic and proceeds as a chain reaction initiated by the homolytic cleavage of molecular chlorine into chlorine radicals by ultraviolet radiation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding

    The program is run by the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation. Thailand started a rain-making project in the late-1950s, known today as the Royal Rainmaking Project. Its first efforts scattered sea salt in the air to catch the humidity and dry ice to condense the humidity to form clouds. [71]

  5. Salt metathesis reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_metathesis_reaction

    Salt metathesis is often employed to obtain salts that are soluble in organic solvents. Illustrative is the conversion of sodium perrhenate to the tetrabutylammonium salt: [2] NaReO 4 + N(C 4 H 9) 4 Cl → N(C 4 H 9) 4 [ReO 4] + NaCl. The tetrabutylammonium salt precipitates from the aqueous solution. It is soluble in dichloromethane.

    Other products such as CH 2 Cl 2 may also form. Chain termination Two free radicals (chlorine and chlorine, chlorine and methyl, or methyl and methyl) combine: Methane chlorination: termination The last possibility generates in an impurity in the final mixture (notably, an organic molecule with a longer carbon chain than the reactants).

  7. Benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzenediazonium_tetrafluo...

    Diazotization of aniline in the presence of hydrochloric acid: C 6 H 5 NH 2 + HNO 2 + HCl → [C 6 H 5 N 2]Cl + 2 H 2 O. The tetrafluoroborate can be obtained from crude benzenediazonium chloride by salt metathesis using tetrafluoroboric acid. [C 6 H 5 N 2]Cl + HBF 4 → [C 6 H 5 N 2]BF 4 + HCl. The tetrafluoroborate is more stable than the ...

  8. Blanc chloromethylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanc_chloromethylation

    The Blanc chloromethylation (also called the Blanc reaction) is the chemical reaction of aromatic rings with formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride to form chloromethyl arenes. The reaction is catalyzed by Lewis acids such as zinc chloride. [1] The reaction was discovered by Gustave Louis Blanc (1872-1927) in 1923. [2] [3]

  9. Hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochlorite

    In this process brine is electrolyzed to form Cl 2 which dissociates in water to form hypochlorite. This reaction must be conducted in non-acidic conditions to prevent release of chlorine: 2 Cl − → Cl 2 + 2 e − Cl 2 + H 2 O ⇌ HClO + Cl − + H + Some hypochlorites may also be obtained by a salt metathesis reaction between calcium ...
