Abstract:
In this work the mechanism by which IC1 substitutes in various aromatic compounds is studied. That part which treats in detail the mechanism by which IC1 substitutes deals with;-
I Acetanilide.
II Mesitylene.
That part which is treated in less detail consists of a comparison of;-
I The rate of substitution of p-acetotoluidide with that of acetanilide.
II The rate of substitution of toluene with that of mesitylene.
III The rates of substitution of para and ortho chloranilines.
As the addition of halogens, and interhalogens, to ethylenic compounds has been studied in detail and has a bearing on the work in hand, a short summary of such additions will be given.
