Claims19
A process for chlorinating a primary amine which comprises reacting the amine with an aqueous hypochlorous acid solution containing at least 5% by weight of hypochlorous acid and being essentially free of chlorine, chlorate, and alkali metal ions, said process being conducted in an organic solvent.
A process for chlorinating a primary amine which comprises the following steps:
- (I) forming a hypochlorous acid solution from a gaseous mixture comprised of chlorine monoxide, hypochlorous acid vapor, chlorine, and water vapor comprising condensing the gaseous mixture at a temperature in the range of from about -5.degree. C. to about +10.degree. C., and
- (II) reacting said hypochlorous acid solution with a primary amine.
A chloroamine of the following formula:
- ##STR8## wherein R is cyclohexyl, R.sub.1 is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and X is hydrogen or chlorine.
