General description
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a volatile and stable chlorinated hydrocarbon. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate, solvent, and dry-cleaning agent.
Application
Carbon tetrachloride can be used as:
- A precursor to synthesize high-surface-area mesoporous carbon material by a self-templating method in the presence of sodium-potassium alloy (NaK) as a reducing agent.
- A reactant to synthesize 1,2-disubstituted cyclopentanes via Cu-catalyzed ring-closing Kharasch addition reaction with 1,6-dienes.
- A solvent as well as a reactant to prepare diphenyl carbonate from phenol and carbon dioxide in the presence of ZnCl2 as a catalyst.
