“…1,1 -Di (p-methylphenyl) -2,2,2-trichloroethane, 1, l-di(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane, 1, l-di(p-chlorophenyl)-2-chloroethene, -hexachlorocyclohexane, p-dichlorobenzene, hexachloroethane, and chloroform have been irradiated in aerated alcohol and acetone solutions with x-rays (440,441,442,443). In every case hydrochloric acid was produced in yield proportional to the dose, the yields in acetone solution being about 20 per cent less than those in alcohol.…”
