Parachlorobenzotrifluoride

Chlorbenzotrifluoride are chemical compounds selected from the group of the halogenated benzene derivatives.

Production and representation

Chlorbenzotrifluoride can be obtained by chlorinating benzotrifluoride and subsequent distillation of the mixture of isomers. 4- chlorobenzotrifluoride is also obtained by reaction of 4- chlorobenzotrichloride and hydrogen fluoride.

Use

Chlorbenzotrifluoride be used as intermediates in the preparation of pesticides, dyes, and drugs (for example tetrachlorobenzotrifluoride ). Thus, for example, 4- chlorobenzotrifluoride is used to produce dinitroaniline herbicides such as trifluralin. 4- chlorobenzotrifluoride is used as a dielectric liquid and as the solvent.

Safety

The vapors of Chlorbenzotrifluoriden can combine with air when heated above their flash-point (40-60 ° C) is an explosive mixture.

Derivatives
