Hexachloropropene can be produced by the dehydrochlorination reaction of 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptachloropropane by potassium hydroxide in methanol solution.[4] 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-Heptachloropropane is produced by the reaction of chloroform and tetrachloroethylene.
Hexachloropropene can be used to produce other compounds such as uranium tetrachloride, anhydrous niobium pentachloride and tungsten hexachloride.[5]
