Chlorination of 2,2-Dinitropropane and the Preparation of Related Derivatives of 2,2-Dinitropropane

Abstract

The photochemical chlorination of 2,2-dinitropropane is extremely slow. 1-Chloro-2,2-dinitropropane was produced in about 20% yield together with a small quantity of a polychloro-compound of unknown structure. 1-Chloro-2,2- dinitropropane has also been prepared from 2,2-dinitropropanol, and 2,2-dinitro- 1,3-propanediol, an intermediate in the preparation of 1,3-dichloro-2,2- dinitropropane, has been prepared from dinitromethane and formaldehyde.
