3-(Chloromethyl)heptane

Ref. 3D-AAA12304

Product Information

• Name: 3-(Chloromethyl)heptane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-(Chloromethyl)heptane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon. It has been shown to be an effective adsorbent for the detection of alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium. 3-(Chloromethyl)heptane has also been used in the recirculating liquid phase method for environmental monitoring. The presence of 3-(chloromethyl)heptane in water causes a decrease in the pH and chloride ions are released from the compound, which can then be measured by ion-selective electrodes. 3-(Chloromethyl)heptane is also used for the determination of halides, such as chlorine and bromine, by titration with an acid or base solution. This compound releases hydrogen chloride or hydrogen fluoride when heated to decomposition.
