CAS 75-44-5: Phosgene
Description:Phosgene, with the CAS number 75-44-5, is a colorless gas at room temperature, known for its distinct, musty odor reminiscent of freshly cut hay or grass. It is a highly toxic compound, primarily used in the production of isocyanates and polycarbonate plastics. Phosgene is classified as a potent pulmonary irritant, capable of causing severe respiratory damage upon inhalation, and can lead to delayed pulmonary edema. Its molecular formula is COCl₂, indicating that it consists of one carbon atom, one oxygen atom, and two chlorine atoms. Phosgene is soluble in organic solvents but has low solubility in water. Due to its hazardous nature, it is handled with extreme caution in industrial settings, and exposure limits are strictly regulated. In addition to its industrial applications, phosgene has historical significance as a chemical weapon during World War I, underscoring the importance of safety measures in its use and storage. Proper protective equipment and monitoring are essential when working with this compound to prevent accidental exposure.
