Description

2,6-Dichloro benzyl chloride is a dichlorobenzyl that has been shown to have antitubercular activity. It reacts with chlorine in the presence of a catalyst to form 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde and hydrogen chloride. This reaction yields an excellent yield of 70% or more. The antitubercular activity of 2,6-dichlorobenzyl chloride is due to its ability to inhibit the growth rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Studies have shown that this compound inhibits the synthesis of nucleic acids by inhibiting RNA and DNA synthesis in bacteria, which prevents protein synthesis and cell division.
