Pentachloroethane

Description:
Pentachloroethane, with the CAS number 76-01-7, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon characterized by its five chlorine atoms attached to a two-carbon ethane backbone. This colorless liquid is known for its high density and low volatility, making it a dense solvent. It is non-flammable and has a relatively low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents. Pentachloroethane is primarily used in industrial applications, including as a solvent in chemical processes and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chlorinated compounds. Due to its chlorinated nature, it is important to handle pentachloroethane with care, as it can pose health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects and environmental concerns related to its persistence and bioaccumulation. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this substance. Its chemical stability and reactivity with strong bases or reducing agents should also be considered in any handling or application scenarios.
