Description:1-Chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane, with the CAS number 753-89-9, is an organic compound classified as an alkyl halide. It features a chlorine atom attached to a carbon chain that is heavily branched, specifically at the second carbon, which is also substituted with two methyl groups. This structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. The compound is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and is relatively non-polar, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. Its boiling point is higher than that of its non-chlorinated counterparts due to the presence of the chlorine atom, which increases molecular weight and intermolecular forces. 1-Chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane is used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use and storage.
