2074. LOWES, A. P., AND IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. Oily Condensation Products. British Patent 493,715, Oct. 12, 1938. Chem. Abs., vol. 33, 1939, p. 2623.

Oily condensation products are obtained by treating with a hydroxide or an anhydrous sulfate or phosphate of Fe, Cr, or Al at > 200° the crude reaction products obtained by the condensation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons of high molecular weight with aromatic hydrocarbons by the aid of AlCl₃ or Al and separating the oily constituents, for example, by decantation or filtration. In an example, chlorinated paraffin containing 22% Cl 650 is treated with C₆H₆ 1,050 in the presence of AlCl₃ 50 parts and the whole heated to 75° for 3 hr; the reaction mass separates into 2 layers the lower of which is heated with 40 parts of anhydrated FeSO₄ for 30 min. at 300°; the C₆H₆ distills off and the AlCl₃ and FeSO₄ form a granular, solid mass, which is removed by filtration after cooling, a red-green fluorescent oil of viscosity 200 centistokes at 100° F. being obtained.
