General description

Hexachloro-2-propanone is a colorless liquid. It is present in herbicide Bromacil formulation. Hexachloro-2-propanone is precursor for the generation and cycloaddition of oxyallyl intermediates. It reverts the Ames strains TA98 and TA100 but not the non-plasmid strains TA1537, TA1535 and TA1538.

Application

Hexachloro-2-propanone (hexachloroacetone) was used in the synthesis of chirally deuterated benzyl chlorides and enol phosphate 2,2-dichloro-1-(trichloromethyl)ethenyl diethyl phosphate. It was also used in obtaining efficient amino acid activation by exploiting the rapid formation of acid chlorides under low temperature and acid/base free conditions.

Population-based data on the occurrence of healthcare-associated (HCA) and hospital-acquired (HA) bacterial infections in cirrhosis, their predictors, and their impact on outcome are limited. All patients with incident cirrhosis in 2001-2010 residing in an area of 600,000 inhabitants were retrospectively
