2-Chloroethanol is toxic with an LD 50 of 89 mg/kg in rats. Like most organochlorine compounds, chloroethanol releases hydrochloric acid and phosgene when burned.. In regards to dermal exposure to 2-chloroethanol, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has set a permissible exposure limit of 5 ppm (16 mg/m 3) over an eight-hour time-weighted average, while the National Institute for ...
[1] The compound decomposes when heated. In the presence of Lewis acids such as antimony trichloride, iron(III) chloride, aluminum trichloride, tin(IV) chloride or boron trifluoride, the trimer hexachloroparaldehyde (2,4,6-tris(dichloromethyl)-1,3,5-trioxane) can be obtained. [1] The trimer forms colourless crystals that melt at 131–132 °C.
A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula −C n H 2n−1. [2] Typically an alkyl is a part of a larger molecule. In structural formulae , the symbol R is used to designate a generic (unspecified) alkyl group.
[3] Chloral is produced commercially by the chlorination of acetaldehyde in the presence of hydrochloric acid, producing chloral hydrate. Ethanol can also be used as a feedstock. This reaction is catalyzed by antimony trichloride: H 3 CCHO + 3 Cl 2 + H 2 O → Cl 3 CCH(OH) 2 + 3 HCl. The chloral hydrate is distilled from the reaction mixture.
Dichloroethane can refer to either of two isomeric organochlorides with the molecular formula C 2 H 4 Cl 2: 1,1-Dichloroethane (ethylidene chloride) 1,2-Dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride)
1,2-Dichloroethylene or 1,2-DCE is the name for a pair of organochlorine compounds with the molecular formula C 2 H 2 Cl 2. The two compounds are isomers, each being colorless liquids with a sweet odor. It can exist as either of two geometric isomers, cis-1,2-dichloroethene or trans-1,2-dichloroethene, but is often used as a mixture of the two ...
The molecular formula C 3 H 6 Cl 2 (molar mass: 112.98 g/mol, exact mass: 111.9847 u) may refer to: 1,2-Dichloropropane; 1,3-Dichloropropane
The most common use of 1,2-dichloroethane is in the production of vinyl chloride, which is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, furniture and automobile upholstery, wall coverings, housewares, and automobile parts. [4] 1,2-Dichloroethane is also used generally as an intermediate for other organic chemical compounds, and as a solvent.
