Telomerization of propylene with methyl dichloroacetate

Conclusions The telomerization of propylene with methyl dichloroacetate includes chain transfer via the C-H and C-Cl bonds, and leads to the formation of four series of telomers, the methyl esters of chloro-substituted acids of type XCH(CH₃)CH₂]_nCClYCO₂CH₃ (X, Y=H, Cl), and also of the telomeric esters of the higher alcohols and dichloroacetic acid.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2150–2152, September, 1977.
