Hexahalocyclopentadienes. I. A reinvestigation of the reaction of hexachlorocyclopentadiene with fluoro- and chlorosulfonic acids

The reaction of hexachlorocyclopentadiene with chlorosulfonic acid has been reinvestigated and the product found by spectral methods to be the chlorosulfate ester of undecachloropentacyclo[5.3.0.0 2,6 .0 3,9− .0 4,8 ]decan-5-ol. With fluorosulfonic acid, the analogous fluorosulfate ester is formed a...

Description
Summary:The reaction of hexachlorocyclopentadiene with chlorosulfonic acid has been reinvestigated and the product found by spectral methods to be the chlorosulfate ester of undecachloropentacyclo[5.3.0.0 2,6 .0 3,9− .0 4,8 ]decan-5-ol. With fluorosulfonic acid, the analogous fluorosulfate ester is formed and not octachloro-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4-7-methanoindene-1,8-dione as reported by McBee and Newcomer. A mechanism is proposed for the reaction.
