:3,4-Dichlorocatechol
Description:
3,4-Dichlorocatechol, with the CAS number 3978-67-4, is a chlorinated derivative of catechol, characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms at the 3 and 4 positions of the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in water and organic solvents, reflecting its polar nature due to the hydroxyl groups. It exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. 3,4-Dichlorocatechol is of interest in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it may have implications in environmental chemistry, particularly in studies related to chlorinated compounds and their degradation pathways. The compound's reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the chlorine substituents, which can affect its electrophilic and nucleophilic behavior. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
