1.1-Dichloroacetone(CAS No:513-88-2)

Properties: A colorless liquid with an irritating odor similar to chloroform. Density: 1.383 g/mL (25°C); relative density (water = 1). Boiling point: 68.8°C (approximately 194.9°F); melting point: 43°C. Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, ether, and other organic solvents, but with relatively low water solubility. It is flammable when exposed to an open flame and decomposes upon heating to produce chloride gas. It reacts with oxidizing agents, strong bases, and strong acids.

Uses: Primarily used as a solvent or reactant in organic synthesis. In industrial and scientific research fields, it serves as a solvent or reactant and is widely used in organic synthesis. Its molecular structure (C₃H₄Cl₂O) and physical properties (such as solubility) make it suitable for various chemical reaction scenarios. It is mainly used in the synthesis of quinolone antibacterial drugs (such as ciprofloxacin) and is an important intermediate in pharmaceutical research and development. Additionally, it can be used as a raw material in the synthesis of pesticides.
