C3H7Cl
C3H7Cl refers to chloropropane, a haloalkane that exists in two structural isomers: 1-chloropropane (n-propyl chloride) and 2-chloropropane (isopropyl chloride). In 1-chloropropane, the chlorine atom is attached to a primary carbon, whereas in 2-chloropropane the chlorine is on a secondary carbon. Typical identifiers include SMILES notations such as ClCCC for 1-chloropropane and CC(Cl)C for 2-chloropropane.
Both isomers are used as intermediates in organic synthesis. They undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions to form
Physically, chloropropanes are colorless, relatively volatile liquids that are miscible with many organic solvents and are
Hazards and handling: chloropropanes are irritants to skin, eyes, and the respiratory system. Vapors can cause
