chemical raw materials | trichloroacetaldehyde is an important chemical raw material, the molecular structure contains halogen and carbonyl, is the preparation of medicines (such as chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline and thiamphenicol), pesticides (such as DDT, trichlorfon, dichlorvos, Dibromo phosphorus, trichloroacetic acid calcium, bromite Ester, herbicides, chloro acetaldehyde urea) and other organic chemical products (such as chloroform, trichloroacetic acid, dimethyl formamide, etc.). 2,2, 2-trichloroacetaldehyde hydrate [trichloroacetaldehyde hydrate, CCl3CH(OH)2] can be obtained by hydrolysis of trichloroacetaldehyde. Most compounds with two-OH on the same carbon atom are not stable, however, three chlorine atoms in the chloral molecule serve to stabilize the compound. Chloral anesthesia and sedation, has been used as a hypnotic and narcotic drugs, abuse can lead to addiction, has been abolished not. |
chloral hydrate | chloral hydrate Chloral Hydrate. Colorless transparent crystals. Special odor. Molecular formula CCl3CH(OH)2. Slightly volatilized in air. The specific gravity was 1.9081. Boiling point 97.5. Melting point 51.7 °c. Heating to the boiling point can be decomposed into chloral and water. Soluble in water, ethanol and ether, benzene-soluble and carbon disulfide. The aqueous solution was acidic to litmus reagent. For pharmaceutical, such as trichloroacetic acid. Used medically as a sedative, hypnotic, and analgesic. Adult oral acute poisoning dose of 4~5g or about 10g; Adult oral lethal dose is about 7g; The average lethal dose is about 10g. Chloral Hydrate easily absorbed, and can appear in the cerebrospinal fluid, milk, amniotic fluid and fetal blood. In the body, most of them are reduced to trichloroethanol, which has a stronger inhibitory effect on the central nervous system. Trichloroethanol immediately binds to glucuronic acid and loses its toxicity, and is excreted by the kidney. Oral can occur severe gastrointestinal irritation, gastric mucosal corrosion and hemorrhagic gastritis. Inhalation of high concentrations of steam can cause pharyngitis, bronchitis, inhibition of respiratory center leads to respiratory center failure, respiratory muscle paralysis. Due to its obvious vasodilator effect, there may be a drop in blood pressure, body temperature, Shock, syncope and arrhythmia. Also visible pupil narrowing, liver, kidney damage and other clinical manifestations. Chronic poisoning can appear erythematous urticaria or purpura-like rash, conjunctivitis, tears, eyelid edema, photophobia, visual impairment; And Head Pain, Arthralgia, loss of appetite, Vomit, Diarrhea and so on. Oral acute poisoning can use warm water or 1:2,000~1:5,000 potassium permanganate gastric lavage. Rectal drug users should immediately wash the intestines, catharsis and symptomatic treatment, prevention of heart failure, Respiratory Insufficiency and Shock of the occurrence. |
dangerous situation | ingestion is toxic, corrosive and narcotic, which can cause burns when touching the skin and dilate the pupil when touching the eyes; inhalation of excessive, serious can cause asphyxia. |
adverse effects and toxic symptoms | , special information on malformations and other reproductive effects. The pharmacokinetic properties of trichloroacetaldehyde are similar to those of trichloroacetaldehyde hydrate metabolized to trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid, and it is observed that it is excreted mainly through urine (probably bile). Skin cancer developed in 4 out of 20 mice whose skin was exposed to chloral hydrate.|
first aid | when the chemical comes into contact with the human body, it is washed with a large amount of water and sent to the hospital for rescue and treatment in severe cases. |
Protection Measure | the equipment should be better ventilated and the exhaust should be treated. Staff should wear rubber gloves and protective clothing during operation. |
storage | plastic or metal or ceramic tanks lined with anti-corrosion coating. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, anti-freeze, anti-heat, anti-water. |
transportation requirements | Grade I organic acid corrosion article. Crisis#: 92008. It can be transported by pipe or train or car. |
proposed waste disposal method | chloral mixed with other combustible fuel and burned. Care must be taken to ensure complete combustion in order to prevent phosgene production; In order to remove the hydrohalic acid produced, an acid scrubber is necessary. |
Application | trichloroacetaldehyde is one of the raw materials for organic synthesis and an important intermediate for the production of pesticides and medicines. In the pesticide, can be used for the synthesis of organophosphorus insecticides trichlorfon, dichlorvos, organochlorine insecticide DDT, trichloroinsecticidal ester (Mosquito and Fly net), acaricide dicofol and pyrethroid intermediate dichloro-pyrethroid acid A (B) esters, etc., in addition, in medicine for the production of chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline and hypnotic agent chloral hydrate, etc.; Can also be used as organic raw materials, for the production of N,N-dimethylformamide, chloroform and chloroform. mainly used in the manufacture of insecticides DDT, trichlorfon, dichlorvos and herbicide chloral urea, can also be used in the pharmaceutical industry and organic synthesis |
production method | the synthesis of trichloroacetaldehyde includes ethanol chlorination and acetaldehyde chlorination. In China, the ethanol chlorination method is mainly used, that is, the reaction of ethanol and chlorine gas produces a mixture of alcohol trichloroacetaldehyde, chloral hydrate and chloral, collectively referred to as chlorine oil. The chlorine oil is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid, and then the refined product of trichloroacetaldehyde can be obtained by simple distillation. C2H5OH + Cl2 + H2O →[80~90 ℃]CCl3CH(OH)(OC2H5)+ CCl3CH(OH)2[+ H2SO4]→ [reflux] CCl3CHO + C2H5OSO3H + H2SO4 + H2O by-product ethyl chloride is washed with water, alkali wash, dry, condensed, distilled and packaged for the production of pesticides. Hydrogen chloride can be absorbed with water to form 30% hydrochloric acid. Raw material consumption quota: ethanol (95%)450kg/t, chlorine 2000kg/t, sulfuric acid 700kg/t. Ethanol chlorination is divided into two processes: step chlorination and tower chlorination. After the successful development of tower chlorination by Tianjin chemical plant in 1969, it has been gradually promoted in China, and it is still a step chlorination in foreign countries. |
