1,4-Dichloro-2,3-butanediol

Description:
1,4-Dichloro-2,3-butanediol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and two hydroxyl (alcohol) functional groups on a four-carbon butane backbone. Its molecular structure features a dichloro substitution at the first and fourth carbon positions, while the second and third carbons are each bonded to a hydroxyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl groups. It exhibits properties such as being hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. 1,4-Dichloro-2,3-butanediol is primarily used in chemical synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks, including potential toxicity and environmental hazards. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
