Description and Uses
Hexachlorobutadiene was first synthesized in 1877 by chlorination of hexyl iodide. It is an industrial by-product of tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene production.
Produced as an unwanted by-product during the production of tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and chlorine; formerly used as a pesticide in other countries
