The product of dehydrochlorination of o-iodobenzoic acid dichloride reacts with durene in acetic acidto form chlorodurene and o-iodobenzoic acid. The reaction does not occur in the absence of traces of hydrogen chloride, and its rate is retarded by o-iodobenzoic acid. Kinetic evidence is presented which indicates that o-iodobenzoic acid dichloride is a reaction intermediate and that it, unlike other-substituted iodobenzene dichlorides which have been studied, must equilibrate rapidly with the free iodo compound and chlorine. Free chlorine is the effective chlorinating agent for durene. Methyl o-iodoben-zoate dichloride also equilibrates rapidly with its components in acetic acid, although its^-isomer and m-and F-iodobenzoic acid dichlorides dissociate very slowly in this medium. A neighboring group type participation of o-COOH and 0-COOCH3 is suggested to explain the extreme influences of these substituents on the dichloride dissociation rate.In acetic acid iodobenzene dichloride undergoes slow equilibration with iodobenzene and chlorine. 1 The equilibration rate and the equilibrium constant vary with the electronic natures of substituents on the aromatic ring, but the reactivities of a number of o-substituted dichlorides are strikingly similar to those of their m- and¿>-isomers. 2 Apparently steric effects of o-substituents are minimal for this reaction because the Cl-I-Cl grouping lies perpen-dicular rather than parallel to the plane of the ben-zene ring. These dichlorides are effective agents
