3,5-Dichloro-2-(trichloromethyl)pyridine

Description:

3,5-Dichloro-2-(trichloromethyl)pyridine, with the CAS number 1128-16-1, is a chlorinated heterocyclic compound belonging to the pyridine family. It features a pyridine ring substituted with two chlorine atoms at the 3 and 5 positions and a trichloromethyl group at the 2 position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its potential applications in agrochemicals, particularly as a herbicide or fungicide, due to its ability to disrupt biological processes in target organisms. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its stability and lipophilicity, which can enhance its bioactivity. However, these same characteristics may also raise environmental and health concerns, necessitating careful handling and regulation. Additionally, 3,5-Dichloro-2-(trichloromethyl)pyridine may exhibit toxicity, and its use is subject to safety assessments to mitigate risks associated with exposure.
