Usage

General Description

1,1,2,3,3-Pentachloropropane is a chemical compound consisting of five chlorine atoms bonded to a three-carbon propane structure. It is a dense, colorless liquid with a strong, sweet odor. This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, particularly in the synthesis of pesticides and flame retardants. 1,1,2,3,3-Pentachloropropane is also considered a persistent organic pollutant, posing a risk to the environment and human health due to its toxic properties and potential to bioaccumulate in living organisms. It has been linked to adverse effects on the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system in animals, and has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. Due to its hazardous nature, there are strict regulations on its production, handling, and disposal.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING 1,2-DICHLORO-3,3-DIFLUORO-1-PROPENE AND SOLVENT COMPOSITION

By fluorinating 1,2,3,3-tetrachloro-1-propene (1230xd) using hydrogen fluoride as a fluorinating agent, an efficient method for producing 1,2-dichloro-3,3-difluoro-1-propene (1232xd) is provided. Through this composition including 1232xd, there are also provided an environmentally friendly composition having excellent ability to dissolve various organic matters, a method for cleaning an article using the composition, a method for producing a lubricant solution using the composition, and a method for producing a component provided with a lubricant coating film.

PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CHLORINATED PROPENES

Processes for the production of chlorinated propenes are provided. The present processes make use of a feedstock comprising 1,2,3-trichloropropane and chlorinates the 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropane generated by the process prior to a dehydrochlorination step. Production of the less desirable pentachloropropane isomer, 1,1,2,3,3-pentachloropropane, is thus minimized. The present processes provide better reaction yield as compared to conventional processes that require dehydrochlorination of 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropane prior to chlorinating the same. The present process can also generate anhydrous HCl as a byproduct that can be removed from the process and used as a feedstock for other processes, while limiting the production of waste water, thus providing further time and cost savings.
