Reactions of phosphorus pentachloride with ethyl (trichloromethyl) carbinol (2),(trichloromethyl)-vinylcarbinol (7), ethynyl (trichloromethyl) carbinol (11 a), and 1, 1, 1- trichloro-3-nonyn-2-ol (11 b) have been studied. Whereas the reaction of phenyl (trichloromethyl) carbinol with phosphorus pentachloride leads to a nearly quantitative replacement of the hydroxyl group by chlorine, the reactions of the aliphatic ( ...
