ClCH23

ClCH23 is a chemical compound with the molecular formula ClCH23. It is a member of the haloalkanes family, specifically a chloroalkane. The compound consists of a chlorine atom (Cl) bonded to a carbon atom (C), which is further bonded to three hydrogen atoms (H) and a methyl group (CH3). This results in a linear structure with the formula Cl-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3.

ClCH23 is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. The compound is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as chlorinated solvents and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is also used in the production of flame retardants and as a solvent in various industrial applications.

Due to its chlorine content, ClCH23 is classified as a hazardous substance. It can cause skin and eye irritation, and inhalation of its vapors can lead to respiratory issues. Proper handling and storage procedures are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety in the workplace. ClCH23 should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible substances. In case of accidental release, appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn, and the area should be ventilated to disperse the vapors.
