2,3-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol

CAS: 38594-42-2

2,3-Dichlorobenzyl alcohol (2,3-DCBA) is a chlorinated aromatic compound that is used as an industrial solvent. It has significant effects on aerobic bacteria and fungi. 2,3-DCBA inhibits the enzyme lactaldehyde dehydrogenase by covalent binding to its zinc atom. This inhibition leads to the accumulation of lactaldehyde in cells, which can be toxic. 2,3-DCBA also inhibits the enzyme catalase and the synthesis of DNA in eukaryotic cells. In addition, it can catalyze the dioxygenation of naphthalene to form a number of polychlorinated derivatives. The rate of naphthalene formation is dependent on temperature and pressure conditions.
