2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane

Description:

2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, with the CAS number 26271-50-1, is a chemical compound characterized by its dioxolane ring structure, which contains two chloromethyl groups attached to the carbon atoms of the ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the chloromethyl groups, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitution. It is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of polymers and other complex organic molecules. The presence of the dioxolane moiety contributes to its stability and solubility in organic solvents. However, due to the chloromethyl groups, it may pose certain hazards, including potential toxicity and reactivity, necessitating careful handling and storage. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is advisable to consider environmental and safety regulations when working with this substance.
