(trichloromethyl)oxirane Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Trichloropropene Oxide is an epoxide hydratase inhibitor and possess potential carcinogenic properties.

Uses

Trichloropropene Oxide is a epoxide hydratase inhibitor and possess potential carcinogenic properties.

General Description

Clear colorless liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Epoxides are highly reactive. They polymerize in the presence of catalysts or when heated. These polymerization reactions can be violent. Compounds in this group react with acids, bases, and oxidizing and reducing agents. They react, possibly violently with water in the presence of acid and other catalysts.
