Abstract

A study is made of the yield and isomeric composition of chlorodecanes formed by γ- irradiation of heptane/decane/1-chloroheptane crystals at 77 K and subsequent warming. It is observed that in such systems 2-chlorodecane is predominantly formed with smaller yields of the other chlorodecane isomers, in analogy with observations of γ-irradiated CCl3F/decane. The selective formation of 2-chlorodecane is attributed to proton transfer ...
