1112tetrachloroethane
1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane, also known as acetylene tetrachloride, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C2H2Cl4. It is a colorless, dense liquid with a sweetish odor. The compound is a non-flammable substance. It is produced by the chlorination of acetylene or ethylene. 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane was historically used as a solvent for resins, gums, waxes, and as a degreasing agent. It was also employed in the production of other chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene.
Due to its toxicity, the use of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane has been significantly restricted in many countries. Exposure
