Isopropyl Chloride
Description :
Overview of Isopropyl Chloride
Isopropyl Chloride (also known as 2-chloropropane, or isopropylchloride) is a colorless and volatile liquid, alkyl chloride, with an ether-like scent and sweet taste that is employed as a solvent and alkylating agent for a range of industrial procedures.
Chemical Formula C3H7Cl.
molecular weight 78.54 grams per mol.
CAS Number 75-29-6
Boiling Point: 35.74 °C
Functional properties: Very flammable, with low solubility in water (~0.33 100 mL = g), excellent solution for organics.
Produced via the addition of HCl to propylene.
Applications of Isopropyl Chloride
Solvent Applications
- It is used for industrial solvents in cleaning and degreasing adhesives, as well as extraction procedures.
- Replacement or co-solvent in formulations requiring low-boiling volatility
Chemical Synthesis
- Alkylating agent used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavorings, and fine chemical compounds
- related to Friedel-Crafts, or alkylation reactions that involve Lewis acids such as Boron Tribromide
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Protect yourself with goggles, gloves, and other appropriate attire
- Do not inhale for long periods and avoid contact with the skin (harmful volatile vapors)
- Utilize only in an air-conditioned area, free of ignition sources
- Storage in sealed containers in dry, cool places that have grounding
- Be sure to follow MSDS guidelines and safety procedures (forms that mix explosive substances that contain air)
