Description

Chlorocyclobutane is a non-polar, aromatic hydrocarbon that has been used as a solvent in the production of plastics. It is also used as an intermediate for other compounds and in the preparation of pharmaceutical drugs. Chlorocyclobutane is a colorless liquid with an average particle diameter of 0.5 microns. The vibrational spectra of chlorocyclobutane are similar to those of argon and this similarity aids in the identification process. Hydrochloric acid is often added to chlorocyclobutane to lower its viscosity and convert it into a liquid form, which can then be easily stored and transported.

Chlorocyclobutane is metabolized by fatty acid oxidation or pyrimidine degradation pathways, resulting in the formation of molecules such as acetone, hydrogen chloride, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Chlorocyclobutane may also undergo reactions with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen chloride
