1,1,1-Trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane

Description:

1,1,1-Trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane, commonly known as Trichlorofluoromethane or by its trade name, Freon-113, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet odor. It is classified as a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and has been widely used as a refrigerant, solvent, and in aerosol propellants. The chemical formula is C2Cl3F3, indicating the presence of three chlorine and three fluorine atoms attached to a two-carbon backbone. This compound is non-flammable and has a relatively low boiling point, making it effective in cooling applications. However, due to its ozone-depleting potential, its production and use have been heavily regulated under international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol. In terms of environmental impact, it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and has a long atmospheric lifetime. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it can cause respiratory irritation and has potential long-term health effects with prolonged exposure.

1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane

Controlled Product

CAS: 354-58-5

1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane is a chemical that belongs to the group of trifluoroacetic acid. It has been shown to react with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of uv light to form hydrogen chloride and trifluoroacetic acid. 1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane can be used as an alternative solvent for nitromethane and hexane. It is also used as a medium for cell culture because it does not react with most biological tissue and it does not cause skin irritation. The reaction mechanism for 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane is nucleophilic attack by the hydrogen chloride molecule on the carbon atom of the ethyl group. This reaction produces a product that contains chlorine atoms that are capable of spontaneously reacting with another molecule of 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane to form hydrogen chloride
