Procedure

Three products were detected. Of these, one product has a GC retention time of 6 minutes and showed the mass spectrum diagnostic for 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol, identical to that of an authentic sample of 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol. Two other products had GC retention times of 7 and 8 minutes, and showed the mass spectra diagnostic for chloropropanediols. The product having a 7 minute retention time was identified as 1-chloro-2,3-propanediol by mass spectrographic analysis. The product having an 8 minute retention time was identified as 2-chloro-1,3-propanediol. The relative percentages of 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol 1-chloro-2,3-propanediol and 2-chloro-1,3-propanediol produced in the reaction were 82%, 10% and 8%, respectively.
