1-Chloro-2-methylpropane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

1-Chloro-2-methylpropane is used to prepare an organometllic compound, isobutyllithium by reacting with lithium using petroleum ether as a solvent.

General Description

The gas-solid virial co-effiicent of 1-chloro-2-methylpropane was determined. The infrared and Raman spectra of 1-chloro-2-methylpropane was studied.

Purification Methods

Use the same methods as described under isoamyl chloride.[Beilstein 1 IV 287.]
