Chemical Properties | Liquid. |
Uses | Dimethylvinyl chloride is not used commercially, but is used for research purposes. It has been used in organic syntheses and as a chemical intermediate for the production of isobutylene compounds for laboratory use (IARC 1995, HSDB 2009). |
Uses | 1-Chloro-2-methylpropene was used to study multiple infrared photon excitation of α-chloro olefins. |
Definition | ChEBI: 1-Chloro-2-methylpropene is an organochlorine compound. |
General Description | Clear dark yellow to pale orange liquid. |
Air & Water Reactions | Highly flammable. May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Slightly soluble in water. |
Reactivity Profile | 1-CHLORO-2-METHYL-1-PROPENE is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. |
Hazard | Carcinogen; neoplastigen; moderately toxic; local irritant, and narcotic. |
Fire Hazard | 1-CHLORO-2-METHYL-1-PROPENE is flammable. |
Carcinogenicity | Dimethylvinyl chloride is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals. |
