Kloormetüülfluoriid

Kloormetüülfluoriid is a chemical compound with the formula CH2ClF. It is a halogenated alkane, meaning it contains both chlorine and fluorine atoms attached to a carbon atom. This compound is a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure. Its physical properties include a relatively low boiling point, making it volatile. Kloormetüülfluoriid can be synthesized through various chemical reactions, often involving the halogenation of methane or other simple hydrocarbons. It is generally considered a reactive substance due to the presence of two different halogens on the same carbon, which can influence its chemical behavior in substitution and elimination reactions. Due to its reactivity and gaseous nature, careful handling and storage are required when working with kloormetüülfluoriid. Information regarding its specific industrial applications or widespread use is limited, and it is more commonly encountered in laboratory settings for research purposes or as an intermediate in more complex syntheses. Environmental and toxicological data for kloormetüülfluoriid are also not as extensively documented as for some other halogenated hydrocarbons.
