1,2-Dichloro-3-(2,3-dichloropropoxy)propane

Description:

1,2-Dichloro-3-(2,3-dichloropropoxy)propane, with the CAS number 7774-68-7, is an organic compound characterized by its chlorinated hydrocarbon structure. It features two chlorine atoms attached to the first and second carbon atoms of a propane backbone, along with a propoxy group that is further chlorinated. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive chemical odor. It is known for its applications in various industrial processes, particularly as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical products. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its potential as a solvent and its reactivity in organic synthesis. However, due to its chlorinated nature, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the substance. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to consider its behavior in biological systems and its potential for bioaccumulation.
