Abstract

The rcactioii betwceu di-wlxityl sulfitc and thionyl chloride yields n-butyl chlorosulfinate. The reaction is marly enough irreversible to be treated kinetically a5 such. A kinetic study of the reaction in nitrobenzene as solvent shows that the reaction is not a simple second order metathesis between the two reactants. When the two reactants are present at equal concentrations, the rate is proportional to the concentration of one reactant and the ...
