Abstract
Abstract The photochemical reactions of ethyl chloroglyoxylate with cyclohexane, cyclohexene, and toluene have been carried out, and the reactivity of an alkyl radical towards ethyl chloroglyoxylate has been qualitatively discussed. A cyclohexyl radical attacks the carbonyl group of the acid chloride function in ethyl chloroglyoxylate to cause a chain reaction; cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride (51%) and ethyl cyclohexylglyoxylate (2—3%) are thus obtained, along with other minor products. On the other hand, a cyclohexen-3-yl or a benzyl radical might be unable to attack ethyl chloroglyoxylate under the conditions investigated.
