Il. Simakova et Va. Semikolenov, STUDY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF LIQUID-PHASE HYDRODECHLORINATION OF ORGANOCHLORINE COMPOUNDS ON A PD C CATALYST/, Kinetics and catalysis, 32(4), 1991, pp. 892-895
The influence of the nature of R in organochlorine compounds R-Cl on t
he rate of hydrogenolysis of the C-Cl bond was investigated under comp
arable conditions on a Pd/C catalyst. The rate of hydrodechlorination
of substituted chlorobenzenes was found to be correlated with the Hamm
ett sigma-constant of the substituent. Electron donor substituents fac
ilitate hydrogenolysis of the C-Cl bond.
