Bis(1,3-dichloroisopropyl ether)

Description:

Bis(1,3-dichloroisopropyl ether), with the CAS number 59440-89-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ether functional group and the presence of dichloroisopropyl substituents. This substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents, which makes it useful in various applications, including as a solvent or intermediate in chemical synthesis. The compound exhibits moderate volatility and can be hazardous, necessitating careful handling due to its potential health effects, including irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Additionally, it may pose environmental risks if released into ecosystems. Its chemical structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to consider its environmental persistence and potential for bioaccumulation. Proper safety measures should be employed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.

CAS: 59440-89-0

Bis(1,3-dichloroisopropyl) ether is a chemical that inhibits the production of formaldehyde by reacting with the terminal sulphonate group of an enzyme. Bis(1,3-dichloroisopropyl) ether is used in medicines as a nucleophile and as an electrophile. It has been used in the treatment of hyperkalemia and also to inhibit the production of formaldehyde from β-unsaturated aldehydes. It reacts with both chloride ions and activated aldehydes to form bis(chloroethoxy)methane which is then hydrolysed to diethyl ether.
