Description

3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene is a hydrophobic pyrrole. It is used in homogeneous catalysis as a catalyst for the transfer of an anion from one organic molecule to another. 3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene also has the ability to react with chloride ions, forming tetracene and chloroform. This reaction has been shown to be efficient in the presence of various halides. 3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene can be polymerized into polymers containing vinylene units that are useful because they are not prone to oxidation.
