propane, 1,1,1-trichloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-

Description:

Propane, 1,1,1-trichloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-, also known by its CAS number 7125-83-9, is a halogenated hydrocarbon that belongs to the class of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This compound is characterized by the presence of three chlorine atoms and three fluorine atoms attached to a propane backbone, which significantly influences its chemical properties. It is typically a colorless gas or liquid at room temperature, with a relatively low boiling point. The presence of halogens imparts high stability and low reactivity, making it resistant to degradation in the environment. However, this stability also raises concerns regarding its potential to contribute to ozone depletion and its greenhouse gas effects. Propane, 1,1,1-trichloro-3,3,3-trifluoro- is used in various applications, including as a refrigerant and in aerosol propellants, although its use has been restricted in many countries due to environmental regulations. Safety measures are essential when handling this compound, as it can pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact.
