Physical and Chemical Properties | Physical and chemical properties 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether is colorless and transparent liquid, with 106.55 relative molecular mass, 1.0525 relative density (15/15 ℃), melting point -66 ℃, boiling point 109 ℃, 10 ℃(1.333 × 103Pa). Refractive index 1.4381, flash point 27 ℃. It is hardly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether and most organic solvents. It is stable to lye, and can be hydrolyzed in dilute acid solution to produce acetaldehyde and chloroethanol; it can also be polymerized, but compared with propylene-based monomers, the delay of the polymerization reaction is small; the hydrophilic oxyethyl group can react with other polymers and be used as a polymer modifier; as a monomer, it can be copolymerized with other monomers. |
Use | Use in the manufacture of polymer monomers, pharmaceuticals and cellulose esters |
