  • Applications

    1,3-Dichloropropane (CAS 142-28-9) is a reactive dihalide primarily used as an organic synthesis intermediate. It is commonly converted to 1,3-diaminopropane and other diamine derivatives, which can serve as monomers or chain extenders in polyurethanes and as epoxy-curing components in coatings, inks, and adhesives. It is also employed as a precursor to intermediates for pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing, and can function as a bifunctional alkylating agent to access functionalized intermediates in industrial production. These uses reflect its role as a versatile building block with applications governed by process chemistry and local regulations.
