>The kinetics of chlorine isotopic exchange between di- or trinitro- derivatives of m- or p-dichlorobenzene with Li/sup 36/Cl were measured. Second- order rate constants for 1,3-dichloro-4,6dinitrobenzene increase in the sequence of solvents; isopropyl alcohol << acetylacetone < sulpholan < dimethyl sulphoxide < 97: 3 (v/v) diethyl ketone-n-butanol < acetone < hexamethylphosphoramide < diethyl ketone. No exchange was observed for dioxan or glacial acetic acid solutions. Water exerts a strong retarding effect on the rate of exchange of this substrate in acetone solution. Rate-constants relative to 1-chloro-2,4- dinitrobenzene = 1.00, at 298 deg K in anhydrous acetone solution were: 1,3- dichloro2,4-dinitrobenzene 0.019, 1,4-dichloro-2,6-dinitrobenzene 0.61, 1,3- dichloro-4,6-dinitrobenzene 26, and 1,3-dichloro-2,4,6trinitmbenzene 32,000. With 1,3-dichloro-2,4-dinitro- and 1,4dichloro-2,6-dinitrobenzene only the 1- chloro-groups undergo exchange, under the conditions used.
