use | used as dye intermediate and agricultural seed dressing agent. Tetrachloroquinone is reduced with sulfur dioxide at room temperature to obtain tetrachlorohydroquinone, which is an intermediate of pesticides and polymer compounds. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used for the production of the anti-malignant tumor drug imidoquinone and the anti-aldosterone drug spironolactone. Used as dye, medicine and pesticide intermediate Used as dye, medicine and pesticide intermediate Used as dye intermediate and agricultural seed dressing agent. Used for the detection of primary and secondary amines. |
production method | obtained by oxidation of pentachlorophenol. Add 20% sodium pentachlorophenol solution into the reaction kettle, acidify with equimolar 35% hydrochloric acid, and stir into paste. Then add anhydrous ferric chloride according to 6% of the weight of sodium pentachlorophenol, raise the temperature to above 70 ℃, start to pass chlorine, and keep the reaction temperature above 95 ℃ until the reaction oil is completely clear and no particles are the end point. Divide the water layer, cancel the acidification of the same substance and add 98% concentrated sulfuric acid to obtain tetrachlorobenzoquinone. |
