Usage

General Description

Colorless liquid with disagreeable odor.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

1-CHLORO-1-PROPENE is a halogenated unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon. The unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are generally much more reactive than the alkanes, which are saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Strong oxidizers may react vigorously with them. Reducing agents can react exothermically to release gaseous hydrogen. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, compounds in this class can undergo very exothermic addition polymerization reactions.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. Very mildly toxic by skin contact and inhalation. A skin and eye irritant. Mutation data reported. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic data. Very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flames (sparks), or oxidzers. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, dry chemical, mist, spray, fog. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, ALIPHATIC

Molybdenum chloride catalysts for Z-selective olefin metathesis reactions

The development of catalyst-controlled stereoselective olefin metathesis processes has been a pivotal recent advance in chemistry. The incorporation of appropriate ligands within complexes based on molybdenum, tungsten and ruthenium has led to reactivity and selectivity levels that were previously inaccessible. Here we show that molybdenum monoaryloxide chloride complexes furnish higher-energy (Z) isomers of trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes through cross-metathesis reactions with the commercially available, inexpensive and typically inert Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene. Furthermore, otherwise inefficient and non-stereoselective transformations with Z-1,2-dichloroethene and 1,2-dibromoethene can be effected with substantially improved efficiency and Z selectivity. The use of such molybdenum monoaryloxide chloride complexes enables the synthesis of representative biologically active molecules and trifluoromethyl analogues of medicinally relevant compounds. The origins of the activity and selectivity levels observed, which contradict previously proposed principles, are elucidated with the aid of density functional theory calculations.

Study of the catalytic dehydrochlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane

Catalytic dehydrochlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane in the presence of γ-Al2O3, CaX, and haydite was studied. A relationship between the catalytic activity and acidity of the catalysts under study was revealed.

KINETICS OF 1,2-DICHLOROPROPANE PYROLYSIS

Pyrolysis of 1,2-dichloropropane at 480-560 deg C and with a contact time of up to 10 sec has been studied, and kinetic characteristics of the process have been determined.
