| | 3,4-Dichloronitrobenzene Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | colourless to yellow crystals or beige powder | | Uses | 1,2-Dichloro-4-nitrobenzene is an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals. Studies have been conducted to use 1,2-Dichloro-4-nitrobenzene as an organic intermediate for the synthetic preparation of ciprofloxacin (C482500). | | Uses | 1,2-Dichloro-4-nitrobenzene is an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals. Studies have been conducted to use 1,2-Dichloro-4-nitrobenzene as an organic intermediate for the synthetic preparati
on of ciprofloxacin (C482500). | | Production Methods | Nitration of 1,2-dichlorobenzene with mixed acid at 35 – 60 ℃ results in a mixture of 3-nitro (10 %) and 4-nitro (90 %) isomers, which are separated by crystallization. A more expensive process (two stages from chlorobenzene) is based on chlorination of molten 4-chloronitrobenzene (90 – 100 ℃) by a process similar to that used for 3- chloronitrobenzene production. Chlorination has the advantage of giving a pure product, but it cannot be used if the isomeric 1,2-dichloro-3-nitrobenzene is also required. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 42, p. 3494, 1977 DOI: 10.1021/jo00442a009 | | General Description | Colorless crystals or light beige solid. | | Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. | | Fire Hazard | 3,4-Dichloronitrobenzene is combustible. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Non flammable | | Purification Methods | Crystallise it from absolute EtOH.
