Abstract
The hydrogenator previously described, which generates hydrogen automatically from sodium borohydride to achieve the quantitative hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds, has been adapted to the hydrochlorination of reactive alcohols and olefins. In this procedure hydrogen chloride is generated automatically as required to react with the alcohol or olefin, and the generation ceases when the reaction is complete. In this manner it is possible both to follow the rate of utilization of the hydrogen chloride and to convert the alcohol or olefin essentially quantitatively into product without excessive contact with the hydrochlorination reagent.
