Description:2,6-Dichlorotoluene is an aromatic organic compound characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and a methyl group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C7H6Cl2, indicating that it consists of seven carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and two chlorine atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 2,6-Dichlorotoluene is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It exhibits moderate toxicity and can pose environmental hazards, necessitating careful handling and disposal. The compound's physical properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by its chlorinated structure, which affects its reactivity and interactions with other substances. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to consider its potential for persistence in the environment and its implications for human health.
