Abstract

AbstractEvolution of hydrogen chloirde occurs when an organic acid which tends to undergo intramolecular dehydration at elevated temperatures is heated with dried sodium chloride at 150°. Aliphatic and aromatic monocarboxylic acids are not acted upon under the same conditions. However, when mono‐ or polycarboxylic acids having a pKa<5.3, are heated with solid calcium chloride dihydrate, the above reaction takes place much more rapidly with the evolution of hydrogen chloride. Calcium chloride is also found to induce elctrophilic aromatic iodination without the presence of any oxidizing agent.
