Usage

Uses

1. Used in Chlorinated Drinking Water:
1,1,3-Trichloropropane is used as a disinfection byproduct in chlorinated drinking water. It is formed during the process of water treatment, where chlorine is used to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. However, the formation of 1,1,3-trichloropropane and other byproducts is a concern due to their potential health effects.
2. Used in Chemical Synthesis:
1,1,3-Trichloropropane is derived from Acrolein (A191200), which is used in the synthesis of acrylic acid. Acrylic acid is an important industrial chemical used in the production of various products, including plastics, coatings, and textiles. The use of 1,1,3-trichloropropane in this process highlights its role as an intermediate in the chemical industry.

Hydrodehalogenation of alkyl halides catalyzed by a trichloroniobium complex with a redox active α-diimine ligand

A high-valent d0 niobium(v) complex, (α-diimine)NbCl3 (1), bearing a dianionic redox-active α-diimine ligand served as a catalyst for a hydrodehalogenation reaction of alkyl halides in the presence of PhSiH3. During the catalytic reaction, the redox-active α-diimine ligand allowed the complex to reversibly release and accept one-electron through switching its coordination mode between a dianionic folded form and a monoanionic planar one.

Solvent pressure effects in free radical reactions. 2. Reconciliation of the gas and condensed phase chlorination of cyclopropane

The results reported herein demonstrate that the chemoselectivity (SH2 ring opening vs abstraction of a cyclopropyl hydrogen) associated with the free radical chlorination of cyclopropane is solvent dependent. Internal pressure is implicated as the solvent parameter responsible for the observed solvent effect. (Solvents of high internal pressure favor the SH2 process; hydrogen abstraction becomes more important in solvents of low internal pressure or in the gas phase.) Extrapolation of the solution phase results to zero internal pressure accurately predicts the gas-phase result, suggesting that the difference in chemoselectivity between the vapor- and condensed-phase reactions is attributable to internal pressure in the condensed phase medium. No evidence for the chlorine atom cage effect is found in the chlorination of cyclopropane.
