2,3-Dichloropropene CAS 78-88-6

What is 2,3-Dichloropropene CAS 78-88-6?

2,3-Dichloropropene CAS 78-88-6 is a highly reactive chlorinated alkene organic intermediate with a pungent odor. It features a special molecular structure containing carbon-carbon double bonds and chlorine atoms, facilitating various chemical reactions. It is widely used in the synthesis of pesticides, plant growth regulators, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemical intermediates.

Specification

Feature

• High Reactivity: Contains double bonds and active chlorine atoms, prone to addition, substitution, and polymerization reactions.
• Good Solubility: Soluble in alcohols, ethers, benzene, and most organic solvents; slightly soluble in water.
• Volatile & Pungent: Volatile at room temperature with a characteristic irritating, sweet odor.
• Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage conditions; avoid strong oxidants and high temperatures.
• Industrial Versatility: Key intermediate for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pesticide Intermediates: Critical raw material for herbicides (e.g., wild oat herbicide) and insecticides.
• Plant Growth Regulators: Intermediate for synthesizing chlormequat and other growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used in producing anti-AIDS drugs and other pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Fine Chemicals: For synthesizing 2-chloroallyl isothiocyanate and other high-value products.
• Organic Synthesis: As a building block for introducing chlorine-containing functional groups.
