1,1-Dichloroethane | 75-34-3

Description :

Overview of 1,1-Dichloroethane

1,1-Dichloroethane, a chlorinated hydrocarbon belonging to the family of haloalkanes, is used extensively as a chemical intermediate in the industrial sector and as a solvent. It is a non-colorless, volatile liquid that has a distinctive scent and has two chlorine atoms bonded to the carbon atom. This gives it an atomic structure that is geminal.

The 1,1-dichloroethane chemical formula is C₂H₄Cl₂, and the 1,1-dichloroethane structure is represented as CH₃–CHCl₂. This structural arrangement differentiates it from other dichloroethane isomers and influences its reactivity in substitution and elimination reactions. Due to its chemical properties, it is used in controlled industrial processes for producing chlorinated compounds and specialty intermediates.

Applications of 1,1-Dichloroethane
