Dichloroethane is an organic compound with a chemical formula of C2H4Cl2, a molecular weight of 98.97, and is a
halogenated hydrocarbon [1]. There are two isomers of dichloroethane, namely
1,1-dichloroethane and
1,2-dichloroethane . If not specified, generally refers to 1,2-dichloroethane. Dichloroethane has a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water. It is colorless and has a chloroform odor similar to chloroform at room temperature. It is toxic and potentially
carcinogenic . It is mainly used as an intermediate in the preparation process of vinyl chloride (polyvinyl chloride monomer). It is often used as a solvent in synthesis and can be added to leaded gasoline to increase the octane number. It is also used as a solvent for wax, fat, rubber, etc. and a grain insecticide. Possible solvent alternatives include 1,3-dioxane and
toluene。
