1,2-bis(chloromethoxy)ethane

Description:

1,2-bis(chloromethoxy)ethane, with the CAS number 13483-18-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ether functional groups and chloromethyl substituents. This compound features a two-carbon ethane backbone, where each carbon atom is bonded to a chloromethoxy group (-OCH2Cl). The presence of chlorine atoms enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications. Typically, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Its solubility in organic solvents, such as dichloromethane and ether, is notable, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the ethane backbone. The compound is considered to have potential applications in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules and may also be utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. However, due to the presence of chlorine, it is essential to handle it with care, as it may pose health and environmental risks. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance.
