2-Chloropropylene is an organochlorine compound with the formula CH₂=C(Cl)CH₃. It is a colorless gas that condenses just below room temperature. Unlike the closely related vinyl chloride, which is a major industrial chemical, 2-chloropropene has no commercial applications and is a lightly studied compound. In the research laboratory, it is used as a source of the 2-propenyl group.^[1] One early synthesis involves dehydrohalogenation of 1,2-dichloropropane with potassium hydroxide.^[2]
