The chemical synonyms of trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene (CAS NO.156-60-5) are (E)-1,2-Dichloroethene ; (E)-1,2-Dichloroethylene ; 4-01-00-00709 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) ; AI3-28786 ; BRN 1420761 ; CCRIS 2505 ; Ethylene, 1,2-dichloro-, trans- ; HCC 1130t ; HSDB 6361 ; NSC 60512 ; R 1130t ; RCRA waste number U079 ; trans-Acetylene dichloride ; trans-Dichloroethylene . It is highly flammable. Oxidizes in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously. Avoid contact with copper and copper alloys. trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene reacts with alkalis, difluoromethylene, dihypofluorite, and nitrogen tetraoxide. Contact with solid alkalis or their concentrated solutions will cause formation of chloroacetylene, which ignites in air. Corrosive to metals unless an inhibitor has been added. Oxidation in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid or a free radical initiator gives chloroacetyl chloride via epoxide intermediates. It is incompatible with organic peroxides. |
