PENTACHLOROCYCLOPROPANE - Introduction
pentachlorocyclopropane is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3Cl5, which is a colorless crystalline solid. It has the following properties and characteristics:
1. The melting point is high, about 160-165 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point is 201-205 degrees Celsius.
2. pentachlorocyclopropane is insoluble in most organic solvents, but can be dissolved in non-polar solvents such as benzene and carbon disulfide.
3. It is a relatively stable and not easy to decompose compounds.
The main uses of pentachlorocyclopropane are as follows:
1. As a chemical reagent, commonly used in organic synthesis.
2. Used as a raw material for certain pesticides, such as insecticides and fungicides.
3. In chemical analysis, pentachlorocyclopropane can detect and determine certain compounds.
There are two main preparation methods of pentachlorocyclopropane:
1. It is obtained by reacting a compound having a chloroalkyl group with ferric chloride.
2. From tetrachloroethylene by high temperature and high pressure cyclization reaction.
Regarding safety information, pentachlorocyclopropane is toxic and corrosive, so the following should be noted:
1. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and respiratory system. Wear protective gloves, glasses and masks when using.
2. During operation and storage, avoid contact with strong oxidants and organic substances to prevent dangerous reactions.
3. The waste disposal of pentachlorocyclopropane should be handled in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and should not be dumped at will.
When using pentachlorocyclopropane, please follow the relevant safety procedures to ensure the safety of the laboratory and operating environment.
