Propargyl is a chemical compound selected from the group consisting of aliphatic unsaturated halocarbons and organic chlorine compounds.

Production and representation

Propargyl chloride can be prepared from propargyl alcohol and phosphorus trichloride.

Properties

Propargyl chloride is a highly flammable, highly volatile, slightly yellow- green liquid. It is expected modern features of an alkyne, so it can participate in addition and polymerization reactions. It can be a little easier hydrolyze in water as the primary Chloroalkanes.

Use

Propargyl chloride is used for the preparation of dyes, fungicides, insecticides, soil disinfectants, steroids, growth hormones and drugs. It continues to serve the production of corrosion inhibitors and brighteners for electroplating.

Safety

The vapors of propargyl chloride can form (-16 ° C, ignition temperature 295 ° C flash point) with air to form an explosive mixture. Furthermore, the toxicity of the compound requires compliance with safety rules when handling.
