The Uses of 2-CHLORO-2-METHYLBUTANE
2-Chloro-2-methylbutane is used as a solvent for the synthesis of other compounds and pentane. It is used in organic synthesis, Catalytic agent, Petrochemical additive.
General Description
The influence of carbon-carbon multiple bonds on the solvolyses of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane has been critically evaluated through the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation. The rate constant for the SN 1 hydrolysis of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane has been measured near the consolute point of the liquid mixture of isobutyric acid and water.
Purification Methods
Methods of purification commonly used for other alkyl chlorides lead to decomposition. Unsaturated contaminants are removed by chlorination with a small amount of chlorine in bright light, followed by distillation [Chien & Willard J Am Chem Soc 75 6160 1953]. [Beilstein 1 H 134, 1 I 46, 1 II 100, 1 III 357, 1 IV 324.]
