What is 1-Chlorohexane?

Chemical properties

colourless liquid

General Description

Mobil, clear liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.

Reactivity Profile

Halogenated aliphatic compounds, such as 1-Chlorohexane, are moderately or very reactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.
