The present invention is directed towards a method of purification of chloroolefins having 3 carbons and to a method to provide stable compositions of chloroolefins having 3 carbons. The chloroolefins are purified via the use of a solid adsorbents for the removal of decomposition product such as phosgene and/or phosgene precursory from the reaction of the chloroolefins with oxygen. The chloroolefins stabilized against an increase of the phosgene level via the addition of inhibitors to the chloroolefins.
