Description:4-Chloro-1,2-dinitrobenzene is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H4ClN2O4. It is characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom and two nitro groups (-NO2) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its relatively high stability under standard conditions. It is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol. 4-Chloro-1,2-dinitrobenzene is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and as a reagent in organic chemistry, particularly in the preparation of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Due to the presence of nitro groups, it exhibits explosive properties under certain conditions, making it a compound that requires careful handling. Additionally, it is classified as a potential environmental pollutant and poses health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation, necessitating appropriate safety measures during its use and disposal.
