Controlled Product

CAS: 420-99-5

2,2-Difluoropropyl chloride is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is synthesized by the reaction of propane with chlorine gas in the presence of a catalyst. 2,2-Difluoropropyl chloride has been used as an anaesthetic to induce and maintain general anesthesia, but it has also shown minimal effects on muscle strength and cardiovascular stability. It is considered to be an acceptable replacement for halothane.
