- Chemical Type: Organic chloride, organic amine hydrochloride, fine chemical raw material, pharmaceutical intermediate, pesticide intermediate, dyestuff intermediate
- Molecular Weight: Approximately 178.49
- Chemical Characteristics: Organic compound containing two chloroethyl groups and an amino group (in hydrochloride form); has typical reactivity of alkyl chlorides and amines, prone to nucleophilic substitution reactions with various ligands to generate diverse derivatives; the chloroethyl groups are highly reactive, making it an important building block for organic synthesis.
- Application Type: Intermediate for pharmaceutical synthesis; raw material for pesticide and dyestuff production; intermediate for surfactant synthesis; laboratory research reagent for organic reaction studies; also used in surface treatment fields.
- Toxicity: Has certain toxicity and irritation; may cause irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract; harmful if swallowed or inhaled; should be handled with proper protective measures; strictly follow safety operation specifications during use.
Synthesis Method
- Raw Materials: Diethanolamine (main raw material); thionyl chloride or hydrochloric acid (chlorinating reagent); appropriate solvents and catalysts for the chlorination reaction.
- Synthesis Route: The main route involves chlorinating diethanolamine with thionyl chloride (or hydrochloric acid) to replace the hydroxyl groups with chlorine atoms, forming the target product; the reaction is carried out under controlled temperature conditions, and the product is purified by recrystallization or filtration to achieve high purity.
Storage & Safety
- Storage: Sealed in airtight containers; store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment; avoid direct sunlight, high temperature, moisture and contact with oxidants; keep away from fire sources and heat sources.
- Package: Sealed, moisture-proof containers with clear labels; comply with fine chemical and intermediate standards, indicating product name, CAS number, purity and storage requirements; available in solid powder form.
- Safety: Operate in a well-ventilated environment; wear full personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective mask); avoid skin, eye contact and ingestion; do not eat, drink or smoke during operation; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with large amounts of water and seek medical attention if necessary.
- Hazard: Non-flammable under normal conditions; may emit toxic and irritant fumes when heated or burned; may cause environmental pollution if leaked in large quantities; avoid mixing with strong oxidants; use dry sand, dry chemical or carbon dioxide for fire fighting.
