Abstract
The class of chloroethanes comprises:
Monochloroethane (ethyl chloride)
1,1-Dichloroethane
1,2-Dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride,
EDC)
1,1,1-Trichloroethane
1,1,2-Trichloroethane
1,1,1,2-Tetrachloroethane (asymmetric
Tetra)
1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane (symmetric Tetra)
Pentachloroethane
Hexachloroethane
As with other chlorinated hydrocarbons, a common characteristic of these compounds is their low solubility in water and excellent solubility in most organic solvents, their volatility with water vapor, and their tendency to form azeotropic mixtures.
