Exchange of Chlorine between Acetyl Chloride and Benzyldimethylphenylammonium Chloride

Description

Complete exchange of chlorine has been observed between benzyldimethylphenylammoninm chloride containing radioactive chlorine-36 and acetyl chloride within 5 minutes. The results favour self-ionisation of the acetyl chloride.

The self-ionisation of acetyl chloride has boon recently proposed to explain the reac­tions occurring in this solvent, Acetyl chloride is supposed to ionise as :

           \(CH_3COCl \rightleftharpoons CH_3CO^+ +CL^-\)
