This material, normally supplied or stored in sealed ampoules and used as a paper chromatography spray reagent, is photo-sensitive. Exposure to UV light causes exothermic decomposition to acetone and chloromethane. Ampoules have burst because of pressure build-up after exposure to fluorescent or direct day light. Store cool and dark, and open ampoules with personal protection. The material also reacts violently with rubber [1,2], It should not be heated to above its boiling point [3], There is also a preparative hazard.

When the polarized atoms in an alkyl halide such as the molecule chloromethane come into close proximity to the dipole of another molecule of chloromethane, as shown in Figure 5.11, the 8-F carbon of one molecule is attracted to the 8- chlorine of the second molecule. This electrostatic attraction is called a dipole-dipole interaction and it is stronger than London forces, which are also present. As a consequence of this attraction, more energy (heat) is required to separate two molecules held together by dipole-dipole interactions than is required to separate two molecules held in close proximity by simple London forces. In other words, the boiling point required for molecules with dipole-dipole interactions is higher. The dipole-dipole interaction does not have to be between identical molecules it can be between two entirely different molecules. Dipole-dipole interactions can be envisioned between two alkyl halides, two ethers, or even two amines. 

Some physical properties of the chloromethanes are given in Table 7-7 their enthalpies of formation from the elements are given in Table VI-6. All four are colorless, with characteristic odors and with low boiling points, increasing with the number of chlorine atoms in the molecule. The chloromethanes do not ionize in water. 

Consider a regression for a set of 66 halogenides and their boiling points [116]. The molecules considered include branched and cyclic halo-alkanes and several halo-alkenes involved as heteroatoms chlorine, bromine, and iodide. All the molecules and their boiling points, which cover the range from -24°C (chloromethane) to...

Because of their high vapor pressure and low boiling points, chloromethanes will have a brief residence time in water resulting in transport to the atmosphere. Hydrolytic rate constants and half-lives of chloromethanes are therefore relatively long (Table 3.5). 

Method M2-A To a stirred appropriate dialkyl phosphonate (40 mmol) in tri-chloromethane (15 mL), an appropriate aldehyde (44 mmol) in trichloromethane (15 mL) was added at room temperature. The mixture was cooled to 8-10 °C, triethylamine (20 mmol) was added drop wise and then the mixmre was stirred at 20-70 °C for 2-3 h. The component with lower boiling point was evaporated in vacuo to give the corresponding cmde 1-hydroxyalkyIphosphonate. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel and elution with petroleum ether/ acetone (4/1, v/v) or crystallization in ethyl ether gave the corresponding pure 1 -hydroxyalkylphosphonate.
