GHS Hazard Classification

Documented Uses

• Used as an intermediate in chemical manufacturing; [HSDB] Continuously manufactured and processed in closed systems and essentially used 100% as an intermediate; [OECD SIDS]
• CHEM INT FOR 3,4-DICHLORO-1-BUTENE (A CHLOROPRENE INT), ADIPONITRILE (A HEXAMETHYLENEDIAMINE INT) & CHEM INT FOR 1,4-BUTANEDIOL (NON-US USE).
• 1,4-Dichloro-2-butene is used for resolving oil-in-water emulsions.
• Used as an intermediate in the production of chloroprene ... is a starting material in the production of adiponitrile, butane-1,4-diol, and tetrahydrofuran.
• From 1951 to 1983 DuPont operated a butadiene chlorination process ... the intermediate 1,4-dichloro-2-butene was converted to 3-hexenedinitrile ... and then hydrogenated to adiponitrile.
• The isomers 3,4-dichlorobutene, cis-1,4-dichlorobutene & trans-1,4-dichlorobutene are produced /by the reaction of chlorine & butadiene/, & when the mixture is heated, an equilibrium results. The residue resulting from removal of the 3,4-isomer ... is normally used without further separation.
