The effect of a variety of solvents on the kinetics and stereochemistry of alkyl chloride production from secondary alkyl chlorosulfites has been studied. The steric resultsvary from clean retention in dioxaneto clean inversion in toluene. Tetrahydropyran, tetrahydrofuran, dioxolane, ethylene chloride and ethylene bromide give in this order decreasing degrees of retention; saturated hydrocarbons, acetonitrile, cyclohexanone, thiophene, acetal and acetophenone give low yields of pre-dominantly, but not cleanly inverted chloride. The chlorosulfite disappeared by a first-order reaction, in all solvents in which kinetic measurements were possible, and in the case of isooctane this was accompanied by an autocatalytic reaction. Three different mechanisms are proposed, all involving the ionization of the sulfur-chlorine bond as the rate determining step, and involving ion-pairsof stable configuration as intermediates.
