1-Chloro-4-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)benzene

Description:

1-Chloro-4-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)benzene, with the CAS number 3883-14-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. It features a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the para position and a 2,2,2-trichloroethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for many chlorinated compounds. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its chemical stability and potential for bioaccumulation. 1-Chloro-4-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)benzene is primarily used in industrial applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. However, due to its chlorinated nature, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its properties make it a subject of study in environmental chemistry, particularly concerning its persistence and potential effects on ecosystems.
