General Description

Cyclobutyl chloride is formed by rearrangements concerted with fragmentation of cyclopropylmethoxychlorocarbene and cyclobutoxychlorocarbene. The thermal decomposition of cyclobutyl chloride was investigated over the temperature range of 892-1150K using very low-pressure pyrolysis technique.
