Hypochlorous acid Preparation?
Someone know hypochlorous acid preparation according to procedure Higuchi and Hasegawa? I can´t find in the web this methode.
Please.

As far as I can see, they use a neutral aqueous N-chlorosuccinimide to obtain the hypochlorous acid. http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/j100887a015
Anyway, there's tonns of ways to prepare the hypochlorous acid, like neutralization of NaOCl/Ca(OCl)2 with a weak acid, dissolution of
trichloroisocyanuric acid, sodium dichloroisocyanurate and chloramine T in water.

Thank you byko3y , by info. I prepare hypochlorous with ClONa acidified with ClH, mesure Ph with litmus paper by is decolorizated .

HClO can't be 'prepared' or at least not isolated. It's highly unstable. In that paper it only 'exists' as an intermediate.

I No need isolate the acid, only in solution, the point is,in a paper the acid oxidate l-phenylalanine to phenilacetonitrile 100% conversion. I make
the experiment and obtained few drop of liquid yelow fog with smell floral. ( excuseme im speak spanish).
I tempted isolate the liquid inmiscible in water solution of hipochlorous acid with trichloroethilene (one solvent in hand) , evaporate and
nothing.

GrayGhost:
Acidifying hypochlorite with HCl produces chlorine:
HClO + HCl → H<sub>2</sub>O + Cl<sub>2</sub>
Your litmus paper was most likely bleached to uselessness.

Yes and no. If ClH is in excess you obtain Cl2 gas im experimented that, but if adition of ClH is controled between Ph 3 and 6.5 approx you obtain the
specie Hypochlorous acid mostly.
Start with sodium hypochlorite commercial in my case 4.75g/liter and acidificate slowly and monitoring with litmus paper.

@Blogfast
I am not normally one to argue but....
Check out these patents they are all about the preparation of "hypochlorous acid". The second is via solvent extraction'
US 2240344
US 3578400
US 3718598
I must admit I was under the impression that hypochlorous acid existed in equilibrium with chlorine and water and alkaline conditions favored the
higher hypochlorite ion concentration but these patents seem to indicate otherwise. Perhaps in the case of the solvent extaction the hypochlorite ions
form some kind of stabilized association compound with the ketone.

I’m not hugely impressed by these patents.
From one example:
<i>MEK, 642 g; HClO (claimed), 0.816 g</i>. That’s barely 0.13 %
And no characterisation of the product to be seen either.

The patents lie, the scientifics papers exagerate with yields, all people lie,f.....ck.
Litmus paper don´t work because decolorize, two way, tritation or pH meter, no need the pure acid only pH 3 or 3.5.

The bigger problem is that it happens to be an immiscible composition.

Accidentally I came across a hypochlorous acid preparation recipe today. It can be found in Hilgetag-Martini-Weygand Preparative Organic chemistry,
page 137, can be found on the Net.
Here it goes:
"The following procedure may be used for preparing an aproximately 20% hypochlorous acid solution (HOCl) from chlorine hydrate and HgO:
Chlorine is passed to saturation into water that is stirred vigorously and cooled in ice-salt freezing mixture. The precipitated chlorine hydrate is
filtered off and mixed, with stirring, with sufficient HgO (about 3/4 its weight) to give an aqueous solution and remove the smell of chlorine. This
solution is filtered and distilled in room temperature and 12 mm.
The distillate, which contains up to 20% of HOCl, is kept in the dark in the frozen state, it is stable for several months at -10 C."
Then it can be used to prepare chlorohydrines by addition to olefins at 10 C, at least the book goes on with such preparations.
