[Chemical Knowledge]:What are the upstream raw materials for methyl chloride? What are the downstream products?

Methyl chloride is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in medicine, pesticide, organic synthesis, refrigerant, solvent and other fields. In the field of chemical production raw materials, there are many upstream and downstream related products of methyl chloride, and some of the main upstream and downstream products will be described in detail below.

1. upstream product

1. Methanol

Methanol is one of the main raw materials of methyl chloride, which is produced by chlorination reaction.

2. Chlorine

Chlorine is another important raw material in the production of methyl chloride, which reacts with methanol to produce methyl chloride.

2. Downstream Products

1. Methyl chloride

Methyl chloride can be further reacted with chlorine to form dichloromethane, which is a widely used solvent and anesthetic.

2. Chloroform

Chloromethane reacts with chlorine gas under illumination to produce chloroform, which is an important solvent and anesthetic.

3. Carbon tetrachloride

Methyl chloride can further react with chlorine to form carbon tetrachloride. Carbon tetrachloride was widely used as a fire extinguishing agent and refrigerant, but its use has now been restricted due to its destructive effect on the ozone layer.

4. Methyl chlorosilane

Methyl chloride can react with silane to generate methyl chlorosilane, which is an important intermediate for the preparation of organosilicon compounds.

5. Freon

Chloromethane can react with hydrogen fluoride to form Freon. Freon was once widely used as a refrigerant, but it has now been restricted due to its destructive effect on the ozone layer.

In short, as an important organic chemical raw material, methyl chloride has a wide range of upstream and downstream related products, involving medicine, pesticides, organic synthesis, refrigerants, solvents and other fields.
