Physical and Chemical Properties | The product is composed of cis and trans isomers and is a colorless liquid. Melting point -57 ℃, boiling point 48~60 ℃. Slightly toxic, with a pleasant smell. In case of humidity, sunlight and air, hydrogen chloride gradually decomposes and escapes. Its hot vapor can catch fire, but it cannot continue to burn without external heat. Soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and ether, insoluble in water. |
