General Description

Chloroethylene oxide is a chemical compound with the formula C2H3ClO and is classified as an alkylating agent. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive, sweetish odor. Chloroethylene oxide is primarily used in the production of various chemical compounds, including glycol ethers, which are used as solvents in various industrial applications. It is also a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, chloroethylene oxide is highly toxic and carcinogenic, posing serious health risks to humans. Due to its hazardous nature, strict safety precautions must be taken when handling and storing this chemical.

Synthesis, structure, and catalytic property of a mononuclear dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex containing MoON core

Reaction of molybdenyl(IV) oxide bis(2,4-pentanedionate) with N'-(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methoxybenzohydrazide in methanol affords a mononuclear dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex containing MoO5N basic core. The complex has been characterized by various physicochemical techniques (IR and elemental analysis), and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystal structure determination reveals that the complex crystallizes as monoclinic space group P21/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.251(1), b = 11.910(2), c = 17.636(3) A, β = 103.220(2)°, V = 1891.7(5) A3, Z = 4, R 1 = 0.0693, wR 2 = 0.1691. The Mo atom in the complex is octahedrally coordinated, with the tridentate ONO ligand occupying the meridional sites. Thermal stability analysis was performed. The complex shows high catalytic property for the oxidation of various olefins.

An Experimental Study of the Reactions CH3CHO + Cl, C2H4O + Cl, and C2H4O + F in the Gas-Phase

The reactions of chlorine and fluorine atoms with the structural isomers CH3CHO and C2H4O have been studied at low pressures and room temperature by the discharge flow technique with mass spectrometric detection.Using the reference reactions C2H6 + Cl --> C2H5 + HCl (0) C2H6 + F --> C2H5 + HF (00) the relative rate constant for the reactions CH3CHO + Cl --> products (1) C2H4O + Cl --> products (2) C2H4O + F --> products (3) were determined: k1/k0 = 1.04 +/- 0.09, k2/k0 = 0.49 +/- 0.04, k3/k00 = 0.47 +/- 0.05. - Reaction (1) proceeds mainly via hydrogen abstraction from the aldehyde group (>93percent) forming CH3CO.In the reactions of ethylene oxide (2), (3) the abstraction route is observed, contributions from addition channels in reaction (2) are discussed. - Keywords: Chemical Kinetics / Elementary Reactions / Mass Spectrometry / Radicals
