1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexachloropropane is a compound of chlorine, hydrogen, and carbon, with chemical formula C
3Cl
6H
2, specifically Cl
3C–CH
2–CCl
3. Its molecule can be described as that of propane with chlorine atoms substituted for the six hydrogen atoms on the extremal carbons.[4]

History and properties

There are 29 chlorinated derivatives of propane (four of them being hexachloropropanes, with the formula C
3Cl
6H
2). This was the last one of them to be synthesized—by A. W. Davis and A. M. Whaley—in 1950.[2]

1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexachloropropane is a liquid that boils at 206 °C.[1][2] Its boiling point is significantly higher than expected based on estimations from various molecular parameters.[5][6][7]

Production

The original synthesis by Davis and Whaley obtained the compound by reacting 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropane and/or 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane with chlorine at 80-100 °C, through 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane as an intermediate step.[2]

The compound can be produced quantitatively also by reacting carbon tetrachloride CCl
4 and 1,1-dichloroethene Cl
2C=CH
2 at 80-150 °C, with a copper-based catalyst, such as copper(I) chloride or copper(II) chloride, and possibly an amine as co-catalyst.[3][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The same process can generate higher chlorinated alkanes of the form H
3C–(CH
2–CCl
2)
nCl.[3][11]

Applications

The compound has been considered as an intermediate in the manufacture of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane, through reaction with hydrogen fluoride.[15][16][17][18]

Safety

A 2001 study found that the compound had significant effects on rat fetuses when inhaled at 25 ppm. The LD50 (injection, rats) was found to be 827 mg/kg.[19][20]
