Description

Pentachlorocyclopropane is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of cyclic chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is a colorless liquid with a strong odor and a boiling point of 176 °C. Pentachlorocyclopropane has been used as an intermediate for the production of other chemicals, such as alkyl chlorides, amines, and polymers.

Pentachlorocyclopropane can be synthesized from hydrogen chloride and 1-chloro-2-propanone in the presence of aluminum chloride or zinc chloride. The Friedel-Crafts reaction can also be used to produce pentachlorocyclopropane from benzene and chlorine gas.

The chemical stability of pentachlorocyclopropane is due to its intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This allows it to be stored at room temperature without undergoing any reactions or decomposing. Pentachlorocyclopropane is not
