1,1,1,3-Tetrachloroacetone

Description:

1,1,1,3-Tetrachloroacetone is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a central carbon atom bonded to four chlorine atoms and a carbonyl group. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its chlorinated nature. It is known for its high density and low volatility, making it less likely to evaporate quickly. 1,1,1,3-Tetrachloroacetone is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in chemical synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chlorinated compounds. Due to the presence of chlorine atoms, it exhibits significant reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety considerations are important when handling this substance, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and it may pose environmental hazards. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use.
