Benzotrichloride Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties colourless liquid
Chemical Properties Benzotrichloride is a combustible, colorless to yellow-brown, oily liquid that fumes on contact with air. It has a penetrating odor.
Uses α,α,α-Trichlorotoluene was used in determination of chlorinated toluenes in effluents of wastewater treatment plants and textile industries by closed loop stripping analysis.
Uses In dye chemistry. In organic syntheses (source of benzenyl group).
General Description A clear colorless to yellowish colored liquid with a penetrating odor. Denser than water and vapors are heavier than air. May be toxic by inhalation or ingestion. Burns skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Insoluble in water. Used to make dyes and other chemicals.
Air & Water Reactions Hydrolyzes in the presence of moisture. The reaction is rather slow due to low solubility in water.
Reactivity Profile Benzotrichloride hydrolyzes in the presence of moisture. Benzotrichloride reacts with water, lime, ammonia, strong alkalis, organic amines, chlorates and acids.
