Chemical compound
Chloroethane, commonly known as ethyl chloride, is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH3CH2Cl, once widely used in producing tetraethyllead, a gasoline additive. It is a colorless, flammable gas or refrigerated liquid with a faintly sweet odor.[11]
Ethyl chloride was first synthesised by Basil Valentine by reacting ethanol and hydrochloric acid in 1440.[11] Glauber made it in 1648 by reacting ethanol and zinc chloride.[11]
