At Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd., we understand that the effective use of any chemical intermediate hinges on a thorough understanding of its properties and adherence to strict safety protocols. This is particularly true for compounds like 1,2-dichloroisobutane, identified by CAS number 594-37-6. This transparent liquid is a crucial compound in organic synthesis, serving as both an organic building block and an alkylating agent, and requires careful handling in industrial settings.

The physical and chemical properties of 1,2-dichloroisobutane are essential for its safe and effective utilization. With a molecular formula of C4H8Cl2 and a molecular weight of 127.01, this halogenated hydrocarbon possesses a boiling point of 107°C and a relatively low flash point of 15°C. The low flash point indicates that it is a flammable liquid and vapors can form ignitable mixtures with air, necessitating strict precautions against ignition sources. Proper storage, as recommended, involves keeping it in a clean, dry, and cool place, protected from direct sunlight and rain, to maintain its stability and prevent hazards.

When handling 1,2-dichloroisobutane, safety should be the utmost priority. This includes ensuring adequate ventilation in work areas, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection if necessary, and having spill containment measures readily available. As an alkylating agent, it can react with various nucleophiles, and its potential health effects must be considered. Familiarizing oneself with the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for CAS 594-37-6 is a critical step for anyone working with this chemical. Employers must provide comprehensive training on safe handling procedures, emergency response, and first aid.

Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd. is committed to supplying high-quality chemical intermediates while also promoting best practices in chemical safety. We provide our customers with the necessary documentation, including SDS, to ensure they can work with 1,2-dichloroisobutane responsibly. By understanding and respecting its properties and implementing rigorous safety measures, industries can confidently leverage the capabilities of this important organic building block for their synthesis and manufacturing needs.
