Description

2,4,5-Trichlorotoluene is an organic compound that is used as a solvent and chemical intermediate. It can be formed by the dioxygenation of toluene. The rate of formation of 2,4,5-trichlorotoluene depends on the concentration of toluene and the presence of oxygen. It also has the ability to catalyze other reactions involving methyl groups. 2,4,5-Trichlorotoluene has been found in the environment due to its bioconcentration potential and its tendency to adsorb onto particles in air. This chemical can cause significant effects on the population if it is not removed from the water supply or from soil samples. The extraction yield for this compound can be improved by using a particle separator or by adding desorption agents like naphthalene or chlorine.
