Hexachlorocyclohexane. Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), C. 6H. 6Cl. 6, is any of several polyhalogenated organic compounds consisting of a six-carbon ring with one chlorine and one hydrogen attached to each carbon. This structure has nine stereoisomers (eight diastereomers, one of which has two enantiomers), which differ by the stereochemistry of ...
Lindane, also known as gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH), gammaxene, Gammallin and benzene hexachloride (BHC), [ 3 ] is an organochlorine chemical and an isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane that has been used both as an agricultural insecticide and as a pharmaceutical treatment for lice and scabies. [ 4 ][ 5 ]
β-Hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) is an organochloride which is one of the isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). [1] It is a byproduct of the production of the insecticide lindane (γ-HCH). It is typically constitutes 5–14% of technical-grade lindane, [ 2 ] though it has not been produced or used in the United States since 1985. [ 1 ]
Hexachlorobenzene is a stable, white, crystalline chlorinated hydrocarbon. [ 7 ] It is sparingly soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, diethyl ether and alcohol, but practically insoluble in water with no reaction. It has a flash point of 468 °F and it is stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
The cyclohexanone–cyclohexanol mixture, called " KA oil ", is a raw material for adipic acid and caprolactam, precursors to nylon. Several million kilograms of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol are produced annually. [8] It is used as a solvent in some brands of correction fluid. Cyclohexane is sometimes used as a non-polar organic solvent ...
