Chlorination


In Shulgin's report on the chlorination of 2C-H to 2C-C, he uses liquid chlorine as a reagent. Why can't chlorine gas just be bubbled through a solution of 2C-C in a suitable solvent?

Bubbling a stoichiometric amount of gas in is very difficult. Maybe with a help of air pump it would be easier, but he had access to dry ice and acetone, so why would he need to bother with some gas generators? It probably will work as long as suitable reaction conditions are employed.

I don't really think, that slight excess would do bad in this case. At least with 2C-B overbromination doesn't readily ocurr.
