Hexachloropropanone

CAS: 116-16-5

Ref. 3D-AAA11616

Product Information

• Name: Hexachloropropanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Hexachloropropanone (HCP) is a molecule that is structurally similar to the amines and has a hydroxyl group. It is activated by intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which results in the formation of a redox potential. This property makes it an excellent reagent for conversion of halides to chlorides and vice versa. Hexachloropropanone also reacts with chlorine atoms, forming chlorine radicals and other reactive species, which can be used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions. The molecule has a carbonyl group on one end, which facilitates its interaction with hydrocarbons.
