1,2,3-TRICHLOROBENZENE [RING-14C(U)] - Introduction
1,2, 3-Trichlorobenzene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H3Cl3. It is formed by the replacement of hydrogen atoms at positions 1, 2 and 3 on the benzene ring by chlorine atoms.
1,2, 3-Trichlorobenzene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with low volatility at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but insoluble in water. The compound has a high density and is highly irritating to the skin and eyes.
1,2, 3-trichlorobenzene is mainly used as solvent, intermediate and reagent in industrial applications. It can be used for chlorination reaction, displacement reaction and alkylation reaction in organic synthesis. In addition, it can also be used as an intermediate for pesticides, preservatives and dyes.
The methods for preparing 1,2, 3-trichlorobenzene mainly include trichloride of dichlorobenzene and trichloride of benzene. Trichlorination of dichlorobenzene can be carried out using chlorine gas and iron powder or iron flakes as a catalyst. The trichlorination of benzene generally requires the presence of a chlorinating agent such as aluminum perchloride.
For safety information, 1,2, 3-trichlorobenzene is toxic and irritating. It has an irritating effect on the skin, eyes and respiratory system, and may cause allergic reactions after contact. Prolonged exposure to or inhalation of high concentrations of 1,2, 3-trichlorobenzene may cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Therefore, care should be taken to avoid contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract, and operate under well-ventilated conditions. If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately.
