TETRACHLOROTHIOPHENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powder

Uses

Tetrachlorothiophene was used in the preparation of 3,4,5-trichloro-2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride.

Uses

Tetrachlorothiophene is a solvent for organic reactions and spectral use.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion, skin contact, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cland SOx.
