Description

2,3,5,6-Tetrachloroaniline is a chlorinated aromatic compound that is used as an intermediate for the production of other chemicals. It undergoes a number of reactions to form various chemical compounds. 2,3,5,6-Tetrachloroaniline has been shown to be reactive with hydrogen chloride in a two-step process involving acid formation and molecule elimination. The rate of this reaction depends on the concentration of hydrogen chloride present in solution. 2,3,5,6-Tetrachloroaniline also reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and tetrachloroethane. This reaction is reversible and can be described by the following equation:
2CCl4 + 4H2O -> 4HCl + C2H4 + Cl2
The reaction mechanism for this process is not well understood but it is likely that it involves protonation followed by nucleophilic substitution.
