1,3-Dichloro-5-ethyl-5-methylhydantoin

Description:

1,3-Dichloro-5-ethyl-5-methylhydantoin is an organic compound that belongs to the class of hydantoins, which are derivatives of imidazolidine-2,4-dione. This substance is characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms at the 1 and 3 positions, along with ethyl and methyl groups at the 5 position of the hydantoin ring. It is typically used as a biocide and disinfectant, particularly in water treatment applications, due to its ability to release chlorine and effectively control microbial growth. The compound is generally stable under normal conditions but may decompose when exposed to strong acids or bases. Its solubility in water is moderate, and it is more soluble in organic solvents. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to skin and eyes, and appropriate protective measures should be taken during its use. Overall, 1,3-Dichloro-5-ethyl-5-methylhydantoin is valued for its antimicrobial properties and effectiveness in various industrial applications.
