CAS 74-87-3: Methyl chloride
Description:Methyl chloride, also known as chloromethane, is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature with a slightly sweet odor. Its chemical formula is CH3Cl, and it belongs to the class of organic compounds known as haloalkanes. Methyl chloride is highly soluble in water and can also dissolve in organic solvents. It is primarily used as a solvent, in the production of silicones, and as a refrigerant. The substance is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can contribute to atmospheric pollution. Methyl chloride is also recognized for its potential health hazards; exposure can lead to respiratory issues, neurological effects, and skin irritation. Due to its flammability, it must be handled with care, and appropriate safety measures should be taken to prevent inhalation or skin contact. Additionally, methyl chloride is regulated in many countries due to its environmental impact and potential to deplete the ozone layer.
