3,3-BIS(CHLOROMETHYL)OXETANE Usage And Synthesis
General Description    The monomer unit of a thermoplastic resin trademarked Penton.
Reactivity Profile    3,3-BIS(CHLOROMETHYL)OXETANE is a chlorinated ether.
Safety Profile    Poison by ingestion andinhalation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxicfumes of Cl-.
Purification Methods    Shake it with aqueous NaHCO3 or FeSO4 to remove peroxides, separate, dry with anhydrous Na2SO4, then distil it under reduced pressure from a little CaH2 [Dainton et al. Trans Faraday Soc 56 1784 1960, Farthing J Chem Soc 3648 1955]. The 3,3-bis(phenoxymethyl) derivative is described below. [Beilstein 17 III/IV 68.] Lachrymatory.
