Description

2-Chlorohydroquinone is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H4Cl2O2. It has been shown to be an effective biocidal agent for wastewater treatment and surface decontamination. 2-Chlorohydroquinone reacts with nitrite ions, forming chloroamines that react with organic compounds in the water, such as triclosan, leading to their oxidation. 2-Chlorohydroquinone is also a useful reagent for the synthesis of ethylene diamine, which is used in the manufacture of dyes and other chemicals.
2-Chlorohydroquinone has a redox potential of +0.19V, making it more reactive than hydrogen peroxide or sodium hypochlorite at neutral pH. The chemical is not very soluble in water and can be dissolved by adding a base such as ammonia or amines.
