12408-10-5 - Introduction
tetrachlorobenzene (tetrachlorobenzene) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H2Cl4. It is colorless crystal or blue crystal, soluble in organic solvent such as benzene and methylene chloride, insoluble in water.
Tetrachlorobenzene has some of the following properties:
1. Due to the photo-oxidation reaction, tetrachlorobenzene has good stability.
2. It has a higher melting point and boiling point.
3. Tetrachlorobenzene is a polar molecule, due to the presence of chlorine atoms on the benzene ring, the polarity of the molecule is enhanced.
Tetrachlorobenzene has many uses in industry, including:
1. As a solvent, it plays the role of dissolution or medium in chemical synthesis and organic reactions.
2. Used as pesticide intermediates, precursors for the synthesis of certain pesticides.
3. Used in the manufacture of capacitors and electronic components in the electronics industry.
The preparation methods of tetrachlorobenzene mainly include the following:
1. Tetrachlorobenzene is obtained by chlorination of benzene and chlorine.
2. Nitrobenzene is obtained by nitration of benzene, then dichloronitrobenzene is obtained by reduction, and then tetrachlorobenzene is generated by chlorination.
For safety information on tetrachlorobenzene, the following should be noted:
1. Tetrachlorobenzene has certain toxicity and has certain harm to human body. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during handling to avoid contact with skin and inhalation of vapors.
2. Because tetrachlorobenzene is difficult to degrade in the environment, prolonged exposure may cause harm to the environment. The use and handling of tetrachlorobenzene should follow the relevant regulations to avoid environmental pollution.
3. Store tetrachlorobenzene away from ignition and oxidizing agents to prevent fire or explosion. It should be stored in a sealed container and avoid contact with acids, alkalis, etc.
In summary, tetrachlorobenzene has certain chemical properties and application value, but it is necessary to pay attention to related safety matters when using and handling.
