Cl4

Cl4, also known as 4-Chloro-1-butene, is an organochlorine compound with the chemical formula C4H7Cl. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Cl4 is an isomer of other chlorobutenes, differing in the position of the chlorine atom and the double bond. It is typically produced through the chlorination of butadiene.

This compound finds limited but specific applications in the chemical industry. It can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic chemicals, including polymers and specialty chemicals. Its reactivity, stemming from both the double bond and the chlorine atom, makes it a useful building block for more complex molecules. However, due to its properties, Cl4 is handled with care, often under controlled industrial conditions.

Cl4 is considered a volatile organic compound and can pose environmental and health risks if not managed properly. Inhalation or skin contact may cause irritation. Due to its potential hazards, regulations and safety protocols are in place for its production, storage, and use. Information regarding its precise industrial applications and production volumes can be proprietary and may vary.
