1,2-Dichloro-3-(trichloromethyl)benzene

Description:

1,2-Dichloro-3-(trichloromethyl)benzene, with the CAS number 84613-97-8, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and a trichloromethyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its relatively high density and low volatility. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for chlorinated aromatic compounds. The presence of multiple chlorine substituents contributes to its chemical stability and potential for bioaccumulation in the environment. Due to its structure, it may exhibit significant reactivity, particularly in electrophilic substitution reactions. This compound is often used in industrial applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. However, it is important to handle it with care due to potential health hazards associated with chlorinated compounds, including toxicity and environmental persistence. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
