Abstract

At present, research into suitable dielectric media has led to investigations in the field of organic fluorides. These fluorides must be synthesized and the corresponding chlorides of various organic compounds offer a starting point for the synthesis. Substitution fluorination is to be at­ tempted in a specially constructed pressure bomb using various catalysts and fluorinating agents with the organic chlorides. Among other organic chlorides chosen to be used in the pres­ sure bomb, ditolylethane, chlorinated to various degrees, was chosen as one of the trial reagents. Ditolylethane had been received into the department in a crude form with very limited data on its physical constants and chemical behavior. A re­search problem could therefore be built around the accurate determination of the physical and chemical properties of the ditolylethane and its various chlorinated products. The chlo­rinated derivatives of ditolylethane can be later utilized to advantage as test material in the pressure bomb.
