Trichloroacetone CAS 921-28-8
Product introduction
Trichloroacetone (CAS 921-28-8) is a high-purity organic intermediate. It offers stable chemical reactivity, excellent solubility, and consistent quality, ideal for pharmaceutical, pesticide, and fine chemical synthesis.
Product overview
Trichloroacetone, with the molecular formula C₃H₃Cl₃O and CAS number 921-28-8, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid categorized as a key organic intermediate in the ketones family. Synthesized through controlled chlorination of acetone, it features a trichlorinated carbonyl structure that delivers strong electrophilic reactivity, making it an indispensable raw material for complex organic synthesis across pharmaceutical, pesticide, and specialty chemical sectors.
Features: Trusted Across Diverse Industries
Trichloroacetone's defining characteristic lies in its high chemical reactivity, derived from the electron-withdrawing effect of three chlorine atoms attached to the carbonyl group. This structure enables it to readily undergo nucleophilic addition and substitution reactions under mild conditions. It maintains a purity of ≥99.0%, ensuring minimal impurities that could interfere with synthesis pathways. The liquid exhibits moderate viscosity and good solubility in common organic solvents like alcohols and ethers, with a stable molecular structure that resists decomposition under normal storage conditions,this is a high-quality organic intermediate.
Advantages: Trusted Across Diverse Industries
Compared with conventional chlorinated ketones, Trichloroacetone provides unique synthetic advantages, this is a high-quality organic intermediate. Its high reactivity shortens reaction cycles by up to 35%, reducing energy consumption and production time. The high purity grade eliminates unwanted side reactions, increasing target product yield by 20% and lowering purification costs. Its broad compatibility with various reaction reagents simplifies process design, while its stable quality ensures consistent reaction performance across batches. Additionally, its defined chemical properties align with strict synthesis standards, reducing risks of reaction failure.
