2,6-Dichlorobenzenesulfonicacid

Description:

2,6-Dichlorobenzenesulfonic acid is an aromatic sulfonic acid characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms at the 2 and 6 positions of a benzene ring, along with a sulfonic acid group (-SO3H) attached to the ring. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It exhibits strong acidity due to the sulfonic acid group, making it a useful reagent in various chemical reactions, including sulfonation and as a catalyst in organic synthesis. The presence of chlorine substituents enhances its reactivity and can influence its physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point. 2,6-Dichlorobenzenesulfonic acid is often utilized in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, as well as in the synthesis of other chemical intermediates. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and may pose environmental hazards.
