Abstract
The photochemical reactions of ethyl chloroglyoxylate with cyclohexane, cyclohexene, and toluene have been carried out, and the reactivity of an alkyl radical towards ethyl chloroglyoxylate has been qualitatively discussed. A cyclohexyl radical attacks the carbonyl group of the acid chloride function in ethyl chloroglyoxylate to cause a chain reaction; cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride (51%) and ethyl cyclohexylglyoxylate (2—3%) are thus obtained, along with other minor products. On the other hand, a cyclohexen-3-yl or a benzyl radical might be unable to attack ethyl chloroglyoxylate under the conditions investigated.
