What is the best solvent (mixture of solvents) for hydrochlorination of decene-1 in presence of AlCl3 ?
Thanks!
Levon
You can Choose Chlorobenzene solvent for this reaction. Please let me know why you are looking mixture of solvents.
Sandeep Chandrashekharappa, Dear Sir, I meant "solvent OR mixture of solvents if mixture is better".
Thanks for your help. And also 2 more questions:
1 - I guess chlorobenzene is totally inactive at conditions of
hydrochlorination of decene-1 in presence of AlCl3, right ?
Conditions are: 10 oC, 10 mol % AlCl3
2 - Are isomerizations and cracking of decene-1 possible at the conditions ?
Thanks!

Faiq H S Hussain , Tarosh Patel , Thanks for your help!
So, Ph-Cl and CH2Cl2 are able to dissolve AlCl3 and enough quantity of HCl ?

Dear All !
What about CCl4 ?
Before I asked, I considered the CCl4 for that reaction.
Thanks!

Mixture of organic solvents are not preferred, better to use single solvent that will be more convenient in the future, if the technology transferred to the process/bulk synthesis.
Yes, Chlorobenzene is totally inactive at the hydrochlorination. You use it as a solvent and it will have high boiling point than chloroform and dichloromethane. If required you can reflux in higher temperature.
I am not sure about your second question. You can try and check. For similar reactions https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tetlet.2018.10.043
