In polychloro‐2,2‐difluoropropanes, where a large inductive effect results in relatively low reactivity to chlorination, the presence of additional chlorine causes an increased reactivity of the hydrogens geminal to the chlorine and a reduced reactivity of the remote (third carbon) hydrogens. The ways in which resonance, inductive effect, and steric crowding interact in the rates of chlorination of polar molecules are discussed.
