trans-1,2-Dichloroethene is an organochloride with the molecular formula C2H2Cl2. It is a geometric isomer of cis-1,2-dichloroethene. The two are often used as a mixture. Both have modest solubility in water, are colorless liquids, and have sweet odors. The trans compound is mainly used as a specialized degreaser.[2] In contrast to most cis-trans compounds, the Z isomer (cis) is more stable than the E isomer (trans) by 0.4 kcal/mol.[4]

Production and reactions

edit

Industrially both isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene arise as byproducts of the production of vinyl chloride, which is produced on a vast scale. Unlike vinyl chloride, neither isomer of 1,2-dichloroethene polymerizes.[2]

trans-DCE is used for cleaning of electronics and other speciallized cleaning applications.[5]

trans-1,2-Dichloroethene participates in cycloaddition reactions.[6]

Safety

edit

The isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene compounds have "moderate oral toxicity to rats".[2]
