1,6-Dichloronaphthalene is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms attached to the naphthalene structure at the 1 and 6 positions. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. This compound is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including dyes and pesticides. Its chemical formula is C10H6Cl2, and it has a relatively high boiling point, indicative of its stable aromatic structure. 1,6-Dichloronaphthalene exhibits moderate toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it, as it can cause skin and eye irritation. Additionally, it is important to note that this compound may pose environmental risks, particularly to aquatic life, due to its persistence and potential for bioaccumulation. Proper disposal and management practices are essential to mitigate its impact on health and the environment.
