CAS 116-16-5: Hexachloroacetone

Description: Hexachloroacetone, with the CAS number 116-16-5, is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its six chlorine atoms attached to an acetone backbone. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. This compound is known for its high reactivity, particularly due to the presence of multiple chlorine substituents, which can facilitate various chemical reactions, including chlorination and oxidation processes. Hexachloroacetone is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, it has applications in the field of analytical chemistry as a reagent. However, due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, handling hexachloroacetone requires appropriate safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper ventilation. Its hazardous nature is underscored by its classification as a potential carcinogen, necessitating careful management in both laboratory and industrial settings.
