1- chloropropane is an organic chemical compound from the group of chlorinated hydrocarbons ( CHCs).
Production and representation
1- chloropropane can be obtained by chlorination of propane, wherein, depending on the temperature for the most part of 2-chloro propane is also produced. The appearance is also achieved by the action of phosphorous trichloride, phosphorous pentachloride or thionyl chloride to 1 -propanol.
Properties
1- chloropropane is a very volatile, colorless liquid with chloroformartigem odor. In contrast to many haloalkanes it has a lower density than water.
Use
1- chloropropane is used as the alkylating agent, for example, in Friedel- Crafts reactions and for the production of Grignard reagents or other organometallic compounds.
