Abstract
It was found that vinyl chloride (VC) was converted into chloroacetyl chloride by photooxidation in the presence of chlorine. The reaction was carried out under various conditions in order to find the optimum conditions for this reaction and to elucidate the reaction mechanisms. The experimental results were explained by the chain reaction mechanism involving 1, 2dichloroethyl radical.The results obtained were summarized as follows.(1) The reactions were effectively initiated by light at 330 N 350 nm.(2) The optimum reaction temperature was 50 N 60 eC.(3) In the case of a stoichiometric 1:1:0.5 molar ratio of VC:C12:02, chloroacetyl chloride was obtained i n good yield.
