Abstract
In an earlier unpublished study, made in this laboratory, of the preparation and properties of positive halogen compounds, it was found that the replacement of hydrogen on an imide nitrogen in certain compounds sensitive to hydrolytic agents could be accomplished in tertiary butyl alcohol solution. It seemed likely that this reaction took place through the intermediate formation of tertiary butyl hypochlorite. Such mechanism has been proposed by Sandmeyer to account for the formation of chlorylimino ethyl carbonate by the action of chlorine on an alcoholic solution of potassium cyanide. The isolation of tertiary butyl hypochlorite by Chattaway and Brackenburg makes the explanation more logical, and permits the proof of the mechanism. It is the object of this paper to determine whether or not the same compounds are formed by the use of tertiary butyl hypochlorite and to compare the action of this compound with that of chlorine in introducing positive halogens into nitrogen compounds.
