What are the main uses of 1,6-dichlorohexane?
Dioxyethane is mainly used in a wide range of applications. In the industrial industry, it is often used as a solvent. Its properties are well-soluble in various substances, such as resins, rubbers, paints, etc., which can make various substances disperse evenly and help it form a device.
And in the process of chemical synthesis, it also occupies an important position. It can be used as a raw material to make polyvinyl chloride and other polymers. These polymers are widely used in the people's livelihood industry, such as pipe making, film making, and plastic making.
Furthermore, in the field of pharmaceutical preparations, it also has its function. Because it can dissolve many pharmaceutical ingredients, it can help the preparation of pharmaceutical agents, making the efficacy uniform and easy for the human body to suffer.
In the textile printing and dyeing industry, it can be used as a dyeing aid agent. It can make the dye easier to adhere to the fabric, and make the color uniform and bright, and increase the beauty of the fabric.
However, although dioxyethane has many functions, it should not be used with caution. It is toxic to a certain extent, and if the human body is exposed to too much, it may cause health harm. Therefore, when used, when operating in accordance with regulations, take proper protection measures to protect the safety of people and the environment.
What are the physical properties of 1,6-dichlorohexane?
For dichloroethane, there are two isomers, namely 1,1-dichloroethane and 1,2-dichloroethane. Its physical properties are different, as follows:
1,2-dichloroethane, a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid at room temperature, with a sweet taste and a chloroform-like odor. Its density is higher than that of water, about 1.2569g/cm ³. Compared with water, it can settle underwater. The boiling point is moderate, at 83.5 ° C, it can be converted from liquid to gaseous state at this time. The melting point is -35.7 ° C. When the temperature drops below this point, it will solidify into a solid state.
This substance is slightly soluble in water, but can be miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform in any ratio. Its vapor is heavier than air, about 3.42 times the density of air, and can be diffused to a considerable distance at a lower place. In case of ignition, it may cause backburning.
1,2-dichloroethane has high chemical stability and is not easy to decompose under general conditions. However, its molecular structure contains chlorine atoms, and under specific conditions, such as high temperature, light or the presence of catalysts, chemical reactions such as substitution and elimination can occur.
1,1-dichloroethane, also a colorless liquid, has a chloroform-like odor. The density is 1.174g/cm ³, the boiling point is about 57.3 ° C, and the melting point is -96.7 ° C. Compared with 1,2-dichloroethane, its boiling point is lower and more volatile. It is also slightly soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents.
Although both are isomers of dichloroethane, the physical properties are different due to the different atomic connections. In industrial and practical applications, there are also different uses and treatment methods due to these properties.
What are the chemical properties of 1,6-dichlorohexane?
Dichloroethane has two isomers, called 1,1-dichloroethane and 1,2-dichloroethane. Its chemical properties are different and unique, and it has a wide range of uses in many fields such as industry and scientific research. This is described here.
1,1-dichloroethane has high chemical activity. First, a substitution reaction can occur. Because the chlorine atom in the molecule has a certain activity, under suitable conditions, if it encounters a nucleophile, the chlorine atom can be replaced by other atoms or groups. For example, when reacting with sodium alcohol, the chlorine atom can be replaced by an alkoxy group to form a corresponding ether compound. Second, it can carry out a elimination reaction. Under the action of strong bases, 1,1-dichloroethane can remove hydrogen chloride to form vinyl chloride, which is one of the ways to prepare vinyl chloride.
As for 1,2-dichloroethane, the chemical properties are also particularly interesting. Its stability is slightly higher than that of 1,1-dichloroethane. However, it can also participate in a variety of chemical reactions. Substitution reactions are also common types of reactions. Under specific catalysts and reaction conditions, its chlorine atoms can be gradually replaced by other groups. And 1,2-dichloroethane can undergo free radical reactions at high temperatures or under light conditions. For example, when illuminated, chlorine atoms can be homogenized to produce chlorine radicals, which can then initiate a series of free radical chain reactions, and add reactions with unsaturated compounds such as olefins.
In addition, although dichloroethane is not easily oxidized by general oxidants in an oxidizing environment, under special strong oxidation conditions, oxidation reactions can occur, and the molecular structure is destroyed to form oxygenated compounds, such as carbon dioxide, water, and chlorine-containing oxides. The hydrolysis reaction is also worthy of attention. When heated in an aqueous solution of a strong base, the chlorine atom can be replaced by a hydroxyl group to form ethylene glycol. If the reaction conditions are severe, it can be further hydrolyzed to form other products.
What are the production methods of 1,6-dichlorohexane?
The method of making ethylene dioxide has been known for a long time. One method is to combine ethylene with chlorine gas and obtain it through an addition reaction. In this process, ethylene encounters chlorine gas, the double bond is opened, and the chlorine atoms are connected to it respectively, thus forming dichloroethane. Then, in the lye, the dichloroethane is removed from hydrogen chloride to obtain ethylene dioxide.
Another method is to dehydrate ethanol into ethylene first, and then according to the previous method, make ethylene combine with chlorine gas, and then treat the lye to obtain ethylene dioxide.
Furthermore, when ethylene oxide is reacted with hydrogen chloride, it can be formed into chloroethanol. Chloroethanol reacts with alkali to remove hydrogen chloride, and ethylene dioxide can also be obtained.
Although the ancients' techniques in chemical engineering were not as detailed as they are today, the above-mentioned ideas also showed signs of exploration at that time. Starting with ethylene, ethanol, etc., and after various transformations, ethylene dioxide was finally obtained. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors and laid the foundation for the development of chemical industry in later generations.
What should be paid attention to when storing and transporting 1,6-dichlorohexane?
1. ** The key to storage **
- dioxane cyanogen, the activity is not good, and the place where it is stored must be dry and clear. It is susceptible to decomposition, and if it is in a high environment, it may be dangerous. And it is necessary to avoid fire sources, oxidation and other substances to prevent fire or explosion. It is advisable to use specific containers to hold it. Such containers are corrosion-resistant and well-packed to prevent leakage.
2. ** Caution **
- The first package. The package must be solid, and it can withstand general shocks and collisions. And its danger is clear, so that the other party can see at a glance. The tools are also checked in a strict manner to ensure safety. The people who are in charge of this place must be well-informed and familiar with the characteristics of dioxyethane cyanide and the method of emergency management. Pay attention on the way, and if there is any problem, deal with it immediately. The road also needs to be properly inspected and avoided in densely populated and important places, in order to prevent a leak and endanger many lives.
