Most chlorine compounds are stable, non-flammable liquids. Thev find many applications as solvents, extractants, intermediates, and fumigants.
Organic chlorine compounds generally have a powerful solvent ac tion for oils, fats, waxes, greases, gums, and resins but are insoluble in water. They are good non-polar solvents for many hydrocarbons, alkaloids, and synthetic rubber and only partially dissolve highly polar derivatives such as sugars, proteins, inorganic acids, and glycerol. The addition of a small amount of ethanol to many chlorinated hydrocarbons produces an active solvent mixture for cellulose nitrate.
The lower boiling chlorinated solvents are useful as extractants. Their narrow boiling range and low boiling points permit their easv recoverv from the extracted materials.
Organic chlorine compounds are used in the synthesis of pharma ceuticals. insecticides, synthetic rubbers, and resins. Some chlorine com pounds are effective fumigants.
Carbide offers 11 organic compounds in commercial quantities. This book contains information on their uses, physical and physiological prop erties, shipping regulations, handling and storage, and specifications and test methods. This information will be of value to purchasing agents, manage ment personnel, and research chemists. Research groups will particularly find this book of interest in improving standard products and developing better ones to expand present markets or open new ones. Samples are avail able for laboratory investigations.
It is not possible to mention in this book all the applications of these organic chlorine compounds.

ETHYLENE DICHLORIDE
(Ethylene Chloride ; 1,2-Dichlorethane)
CICH2CH2CI
Ethylene dichloride's excellent solvent power and resistance to hy drolysis make it useful as an extractant for oils rfnd fats. Vegetable oils are effectively extracted from expeller cakes through the use of ethylene dichloride. Ethylene dichloride is used to concentrate vitamins A and D from cod and shark liver oils. In this way, odorless and tasteless products are prepared. Its boiling point is high enough to permit the use of low-pressure equipment. Ethylene dichloride is also useful in the vapor-phase degreasing of metal articles.
An excellent solvent for all standard low-viscosity types of cellulose acetate (up to 61 per cent combined acetic acid) is a 9 to 1 mixture of eth ylene dichloride and ethanol. Ethylene dichloride is also a valuable solvent in compounding polysulfide rubbers and Buna N synthetic rubbers for cements and coatings.
Ethylene dichloride is a useful scouring and spotting agent for the removal of tar, paint, and brand marks from wool. When incorporated into soaps and scouring compounds, it assists in the removal of grease. Wettingout and penetrating compounds can also incorporate ethylene dichloride. Its solvent action on the natural waxes assists in the degumming of silk and cotton.
Ethylene dichloride lends itself readily to a number of valuable syn theses, as both chlorine atoms can be replaced by other groups. Such an example is its condensation with sodium cyanide to form succinonitrile. followed by hydrolysis with aqueous hydrochloric acid to produce succinic acid. With polysulfides, oil and gasoline-resistant rubber-like materials are formed. Ethylene polysulfide, a useful polymer lubricant, is prepared from ethylene dichloride and sodium polysulfide.1 Vinyl chloride is produced from ethylene dichloride and aqueous caustic at an elevated temperature and pressure.'1
The condensation products of dioleyl- and dilauryldiethylene triamine with ethylene dichloride are useful antifoaming agents for steam boilers and generators.3

"CHLORASOL" FUMIGANT
AND SOLVENT
(Solvent EDM)
Chlorasol fumigant and solvent is a mixture containing 75 per cent by volume ethylene dichloride and 25 per cent by volume carbon tetrachlor ide. It is not flammable under conditions of ordinary use.
Chlorasol solvent readily dissolves oils, waxes, gums, and tars, and is an active solvent component in industrial cleaning compounds, tvpe clean ers. spotting solvents, and similar specialty products. It is also used in clean ing textiles and in removing oils and greases from machinery.
Chlorasol fumigant is an effective fumigant for grain, and clothes moths; grain weevils; grain, flour, and carpet beetles; the rice weevil; and book lice --- as well as their larvae and eggs. Its vapors penetrate stored grain, rolled rugs, upholstered furniture, cartons, sacks, and stacked mate rial. It is non-flammable under ordinary conditions of use and evaporates quickly at a room temperature of 70F. or higher. The rate of evaporation

and the depth of penetration increase as the temperature increases. Chlorasol fumigant is fast acting and is quickly and easily removed by adequate ventilation.
Chlorasol fumigant can be applied either directly to grain in the storage bin, grain car, or silo or by mixing it with the stream of grain coming into the terminal elevator. When fumigating grain, the storage bins and elevators must be reasonably airtight for the fumigant to be completely effective. Individual sections of mill machinery can be fumigated by spray ing or pouring the liquid onto the grain as it is fed into the machine. In this way, the sections likely to be infested can be individually treated. When used in accordance with directions, residues df Chlorasol fumigant on treated grain are exempt from the tolerance requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
In buildings and warehouses, Chlorasol fumigant is particularly suited for the fumigation of various commodities that have become infested while in storage. It may be used simply yet effectively by pouring the liquid into shallow pans or travs near the ceiling of the room to be fumigated. In more permanent installations, the liquid can be piped into the trays from storage tanks.
Furniture can be satisfactorily fumigated with Chlorasol fumigant in an atmospheric vault. Fabrics and furs are fumigated in airtight vaults and when properly used, Chlorasol fumigant has no effect on the hair, pelts, dyes, buttons, or other parts of the garment. CHLORASOL fumigant is one of the few effective fumigants that can be safely used on seeds. Expo sures up to 72 hours have no effect upon seed germination.
PROPYLENE DICHLORIDE
(1,2-Dichloropropane)
CH3CHCICH2CI
Propylene dichloride is used as an extraction solvent where its high boiling point offers special processing advantages. Its stability, ease of recovery, and solvent characteristics make it valuable for the preparation of highly concentrated lactic acid. Propylene dichloride is used in the preparation of cleaning and scouring compounds, spot-removing agents, and in the pyrolytic production of chlorhydrocarbons,1 It is also an inter mediate in the manufacture of alcohols, amines, nitriles, and acids.

DICHLORETHYL ETHER
[2,2'-Dichloroethyl Ether, Di( 2-Chloroethyl) Ether]
CICHsCHaOCHaCH^CI
Dichlorethvl ether is a colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is extremely resistant to hydrolysis. This chlorinated ether is a particularly good solvent for fats, waxes, or greases.
The solvent action of dichlorethyl ether makes it a useful scouring agent for textiles. When used either in the scouring bath or as a pre-spotter, dichlorethyl ether aids in removing paint and tar brand marks from raw wool, and oil and grease spots from cloth. Since the solvent is retained by the goods throughout the process, hand spotting in many cases is eliminated.
Dichlorethyl ether is an intermediate in the manufacture of alkyl aryl ether sulfate or sulfonate-type (R^^OCsH^CjHiSOs) anionic sur face active agents, us The advantage of the use of this chlorinated ether is its ability to introduce only two ethylene oxide linkages into the molecule and thereby controlling the hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance of the resulting detergent. These surface active agents are good emulsifiers for oils, fats, and greases and have excellent detergent, lathering, and rinsing qualities. They are also good emulsifiers for cosmetic preparations and their excellent deter gent and lathering properties make them well suited for shampoo and cleans ing cream bases. Metal cleaning operations are another important application for surface active agents of this type.
Dichlorethyl ether is a solvent for the separation of butadiene from butylene by extractive distillation. It is also used for the recovery of ethylene

ETHYLENE CHLORHYDRIN
(2-Chloroethanol)
CICH2CH2OH
The principal use of ethylene chlorhydrin is for the introduction of the hydroxyethyl group (-CH2CH2OH) into other organic compounds. Resulting derivatives boil about 100C. higher tljan the corresponding ethyl compounds and are more soluble in water. Ethylene chlorhydrin reacts with the salts of organic acids to form glycol esters; with sodium cyanide, it yields ethylene cyanohydrin which can be dehydrated to acrylonitrile. Ethyl ene cyanohydrin can also be hydrolyzed to ieto-hydroxy propionic acid which in turn can be oxidized to malonic acid or dehydrated to acrylic acid. Eth ylene chlorhydrin reacted with brombenzene, by means of the Grignard reaction, produces phenvlethanol (synthetic oil of rose).
Ethylene chlorhvdrin is also used in the synthesis of choline (2hydroxyethyl trimethylammonium hydroxide) a member of the Vitamin B group, which is generallv considered to be an essential ingredient in chicken feed to aid in the production of eggs. The reaction of ethylene chlorhydrin and thiophenol produces phenyl vinyl sulfone.1 Sodium terephthalate and ethylene chlorhydrin can be refluxed with sodium iodide and heated in a stream of hydrogen to produce polyesters.2 The isolation of styrene may be accomplished by azeotropic distillation with ethylene chlorhydrin.3

Epichlorhydrin's reactive chlorine and epoxide groups and its com plete miscibility with ethers, alcohols, acetone, benzene, acetates, and carbon-tetrachloride make it a useful raw material for a wide variety of syntheses. The epoxide group combines exothermically with the active hy drogen atoms in many alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, amines, and mercaptans. The chlorine atom reacts with amines, amides, acid salts, and alkali metal phenolates and alcoholates.
Epichlorhydrin is a primary raw material in the manufacture of epoxy resins -- important materials for adhesives, surface coatings, resinous castings for tools and dies and for "potting" electrical components. In the

The presence of ethylene dichloride in the air can be detected by its characteristic sweet, ethereal odor long before its concentration approaches 6.2 per cent. The addition of carbon tetrachloride renders ethylene and propylene dichlorides safe, with regard to fire hazard, under ordinary con ditions of storage or use. A mixture of 75 per cent ethylene dichloride and 25 per cent carbon tetrachloride by volume is classed as "Non-Flammable" by Underwriters' Laboratories and by the U. S. Bureau of Explosives. This mixture is not approved for use as a fire-extinguishing liquid.
Stability Ethylene dichloride has the lowest acidity specification and
is the most stable of the chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is resistant to hy drolysis and oxidation in the presence of air, water, or metals at tempera tures up to 100C. In the absence of air and water, it is stable up to I60C. Trichlorethane is stable in the presence of air at ordinary temperatures and in the absence of air and water up to 110C.
The following table summarizes the resistance of various chlorinated solvents to loss of chlorine in aqueous solutions of acids, bases, and reducing and oxidizing agents. In comparing the figures given, only large differences should be considered significant. Inhibitors can be added to chlorinated solvents to minimize the development of acidity. These inhibitors are usually weak nitrogen bases such as the pyridines.

tjflSP ()f RoCOl'PrY Narrow boiling range and complete volatility
simplify the removal of chlorhydrocarbons from extracted material and facilitate economical recovery of the solvent. No "heavy-ends" are left in the extract or in the residue. Boiling range and heat of vaporization of chlorhydrocarbons are low enough to permit easy distillation without using excessive temperatures and to give minimum loss on handling.
HANDLING AND
STORAGE OF CHLORINATED COMPOUNDS
In using organic chlorine compounds, particular attention must be given to adequate ventilation. Prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors or contact with skin and eyes must be avoided. Additional precautions may be necessary with particular compounds. Physiological properties and tox icity information are given on pages 20 and 21. From the data given on page 17 in the section on "Advantages of Chlorinated Solvents", it is evident that chlorinated solvents have a low order of flammability and their fire hazard is small.
These compounds react in varying degrees with different metals. For safety reasons and to avoid contamination, care must be taken in the selection of storage containers and piping, pumps, and other processing equipment.
Steel drums or tanks coated with a baked phenolic resin have been found to be the most satisfactory type of storage container for chlorinated compounds. Butyl chloride and ethylene chlorhydrin should be stored only in these resin coated containers. Aluminum should never be used for the storage of chlorinated compounds.
When freshly distilled and of a low acid content, most of the chlori nated compounds can also be stored in containers constructed of mild steel, 18-8 stainless steel, nickel, galvanized iron, or tinned iron. If the acidity increases, however, due to prolonged storage, the rate of attack on unprotected metals may be appreciable with subsequent contamination of the solvent.
Steel piping is generally satisfactory for the transfer of chlorinated compounds. If corrosion of the lines or discoloration of the material are to be-avoided during prolonged storage or recycling, then the lines should be drained after use. If this procedure proves impractical, baked phenolic resin coated steel pipes are recommended to minimize contamination.
Additional information on the storage and handling of chlorinated compounds may be found in the following Manufacturing Chemists' Associ ation pamphlets -- Ethylene Dichloride SD-18 and Carbon Tetrachloride SD-3.

PHYSI LOGICAL PROPERTIES
6
These organic chlorine compounds differ greally from one another in their toxicity as indicated by the table on the right. As a general rule, the major hazard in their industrial applications and use is from vapor inhalation. Penetration through the skin by those compounds with a single skin absorption dose for rabbits of 1 milliliter per kilogram or less is hazardous.
None of these chlorine compounds is highly irritating to the skin, but like many solvents, they would have a solvent action on the skin. Additional information on physiological 'properties may be obtained from the literature referred to on page 42. Hand ling and storage of chlorine compounds are discussed on page 19.
Toxicity is only one indication of the existence of hazard in handling a chemical. Other factors, such as physical properties, and extent of exposure are equally important in determining the hazard.
These tabular data on the next page indicate relative toxicity to animals. The results of animal experiments may be indicative of the effects to be expected on human subjects, but they cannot be freely applied to humans.
Definitions:
The National Research Council defines toxicity as the capacity of a substance to produce injury. Hazard is the probability that injury will result from the use of the substance in the quantity and manner proposed.
The term, LD60 refers to that quantity of chemical which kills 50 per cent of exposed animals. For uniformity, dosage is ex pressed in grams or milliliters per kilogram of animal body weight.
Single skin absorption refers to a 24-hour skin contact with the liquid chemical.
Single inhalation refers to a single continuous breathing of a certain concentration of chemical for a given period of time.
Primary irritation refers to the skin response following a 4-hour uncovered skin exposure.'
Eye injury refers to surface damage produced by the liquid chemical.
The word poison is used as defined by the Manufacturing Chemists' Association and the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Legal responsibility is assumed only for the fact that all studies reported here and all opinions are those of qualified experts.

SPECIFICATIONS AND TEST METHODS
The following table (pages 24 and 25) gives the specifications for Carbide's organic chlorine compounds when this book was printed. Improve ments are constantly being made in all products Carbide manufactures. Consequently, these speci fications are subject to change. For the latest specifications on any of these products, please contact the Sales Office nearest you. Our rep resentatives will be glad to furnish the informa tion. A list of the addresses of these offices is on the outside back cover.
To use this table, look in the left-hand vertical column for the product and in the top horizontal column to find the requirement. At the intersec tion are the specification limits and a key to the corresponding specification method or quality control test. For example, the water requirement for ethylene dichloride is 0.03 per cent by weight, maximum, using the method Gl. This method is found under the "key" column on page 28, which gives the specific sample size for determining water in ethylene dichloride when the general method G is used.
The test methods used in determining the specifications of Carbide's products are either A.S.T.M. tests or recognized tests that have been improved or simplified in our laboratories.

COLD TEST
Transfer 25 ml. of the sample to a 150-mm. test tube and immerse the tube in a suitable cold bath maintained at approximately 15C. below the temperature limit given in the spec ification. Stir the sample continuously with a suitable thermometer until the specified temperature is reached. Examine the contents of the tube for evidence of cloudiness or turbidity.
WATER
Reagent -- Transfer 487 ml. of freshly distilled anhydrous pyridine to a 4-liter bottle having a 29/42 ground-glass neck. Add 154 g. of reagent-grade iodine, stopper securely, and place on a mechanical roller for 30 min. or until the iodine is completely in solution. Dilute the contents of the bottle to 3500 ml. with anhydrous c.p. methanol. By means of a suitable glass tube extending to the bottom of the bottle add 115 g. of refrigerant-grade sulfur dioxide dried by passing through con centrated sulfuric acid. Allow the contents of the bottle to cool and fit the bottle with a 50-ml. automatic buret having a 29/42 ground-glass joint. Protect all vents open to the air with Ascarite tubes. Much of the accu racy of the method is lost if an ordinary buret is used without special precautions.
Standardization -- Place 25 ml. of sub stantially dry methanol in a 125 ml. glassstoppered Erlenmeyer flask and titrate with the reagent to the first permanent reddishbrown end-point. Do not confuse the light yellow color formed during the addition of the first few ml. of reagent with the true end point. .
Introduce 1 or 2 drops (0.03 to 0.05 g.) of distilled water weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg. by means of a suitable weighing pipet. Again titrate to the same reddish-brown end point. Make several check determinations.

NONVOLATILE MATTER
From a graduate introduce 100 ml. of sample into a 125 ml. platinum evaporating dish which has been heated to constant weight at 105 to 110C,, cooled in a desiccator, and weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg.
Evaporate the sample to dryness on a hot water bath and place the dish in an oven maintained at 105 to 110C. for 30 minutes or until constant weight is attained. Cool the dish in a desiccator and weigh the residue to the nearest 0.1 mg.
Calculation
g. residue = nonvolatile matter, g. per 100 ml.
COLOR
Prepare suitable platinum-cobalt color standards according to the method described in the American Public Health Association's "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage", 8th edition (1936).
Transfer 100 ml. of the sample to one ol two matched tail-form Nessler tubes. Fill the second tube to the mark with the platinumcobalt standard representing the maximum limit permitted by the specification. Substitute 0.005 per cent potassium dichromate solution for the platinum-cobalt standard, if specified.

ODOR
Pour a few' ml. of the sample on a clean filter paper and observe the odor at once. If specified, allow the sample to evaporate in air at room temperature and notice whether any residual odor remains on the paper.
SUSPENDED MATTER
Invert a bottle of the sample and examine by transmitted light.
ETHYLENE DICHLORIDE
Prepare a sodium methylate solution by adding short pieces of sodium wire to 500 ml. of anhydrous methanol until effervescence ceases. Handle the sodium wire with caution! Transfer 75 ml. of this solution to each of two 250-ml. Erlenmeyer flasks fitted with a 24/40 standard-taper joint. Reserve one of the flasks as a blank and into the other flask introduce 1.2 to 1.4 g. of the sample weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg. by means of a suitable weighing pipet.
Attach the flasks to 500-mm. brine-cooled "'West" condensers fitted with 24/40 standardtaper joints, heat to boiling by means of a 500-watt electric mantle, and allow to reflux for one hour. Remove the mantles and allow the flask to cool to room temperature. Wash down the inside walls of each condenser with 50 ml. of distilled water and catch the rinsings in the flask.
Add 1 ml. of a 1.0 per cent alcoholic solu tion of phenolphthalein indicator and then add a slight excess of 2 N nitric acid. Neutral ize the excess with powdered calcium carbon ate. Add one ml. of 10 per cent potassium chromate and titrate with standard 0.15 N silver nitrate to the first permanent reddish tinge.

TENDENCY TO HYDROLYZE
Transfer 200 ml. of distilled water to a 500-ml. separatory funnel, add 200 ml. of the sample, and shake vigorously for 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to separate into two layers, and transfer 100 ml. of the upper (water) layer to one of two 250-ml. Erlenmeyer flasks. Discard the remainder of the upper layer. To the second Erlenmeyer flask add 100 ml. of distilled water and reserve as the blank.
Add 3 to 4 drops of a 0.04 per cent alco holic solution of bromothymol blue indicator to each flask and titrate with standard 0.01 N barium hydroxide to the first permanent bluish end-point. Make two subsequent water extrac tions of the sample layer by adding 200 ml. of distilled water to the contents of the sep aratory funnel each time and repeating the above procedure.

AMMONIACAL SILVER NITRATE TEST
Ammoniacal Silver Nitrate SolutionAdd a 10 per cent aqueous solution of am monium hydroxide dropwise to 100 ml, of a 5 per cent aqueous solution of silver nitrate until the precipitate which first forms is almost but not entirely dissolved. Filter the solution and store the filtrate in a dark col ored bottle.
CAUTION! Ammoniacal silver nitrate reagent readily forms explosive compounds on stand ing. Do not store this reagent but prepare a fresh quantity for each series of determina tions. Neutralize the excess reagent and rinse all glassware used with concentrated hydro chloric acid immediately after completing the test.

METHOD
Procedure -- Transfer 10 ml. of the re agent to a 150-mm. test tube, add 10 ml. of the sample, and mix thoroughly. Allow the mixture to stand in the dark for 20 minutes at 20C- and examine visually for any evidence of coloration in both layers. The lower layer may be turbid from the suspension of water in the sample, but no coloration should be present.
BUTANOL
Phthallc anhydride-pyridine reagent -- Add 42 g. of c.p. phthalic anhydride to 300 ml. of freshly distilled pyridine contained in a one-quart glass-stoppered brown bottle. Shake the bottle vigorously until complete solution is effected. The reagent preferably should stand overnight before using; however, the solution may be heated under hot tap water until a slight cooling of the reagent occurs, indicating complete reaction.
Procedure -- Prepare a sufficient number of heat-resistant pressure bottles to make all blank and sample determinations in duplicate. Carefully pipet 25 ml. of the phthalic anhy dride-pyridine reagent into each of the bottles, using the same pipet for each transfer. Do not allow the reagent to come in contact with the rubber gasket. Before capping purge the bottles for 2 minutes with a gentle stream of nitrogen by means of a glass tube inserted through the neck of the bottle and clamped so that the opening is just above the surface of the^liquid. Reserve two of the bottles as blanks.
Into each of the other bottles, introduce 25 ml. of the sample by means of a suitable transfer pipet. Stopper the bottles and wrap each securely in a canvas bag. Place the samples and blanks as close together as pos sible in a water bath maintained at 982C. for 60 minutes. Maintain sufficient water in the bath to just cover the liquid in the bottles. Remove the bottles from the bath and allow them to cool in air to room temperature. When the bottles have cooled, loosen the wrappers, uncap to release any pressure, and then re move the wrappers.
To each bottle add exactly 50 ml. of stand ard 0.5 N sodium hydroxide, using the same
