1,4-Dichlorobenzene (1,4-DCB, p-DCB, or para-dichlorobenzene, sometimes abbreviated as PDCB or para) is an aryl chloride and isomer of dichlorobenzene with the formula C 6 H 4 Cl 2. This colorless solid has a strong odor. The molecule consists of a benzene ring with two chlorine atoms (replacing hydrogen atoms) on opposing sites of the ring.
1,2-Dichlorobenzene or ortho-dichlorobenzene; 1,3-Dichlorobenzene or meta-dichlorobenzene; 1,4-Dichlorobenzene or para-dichlorobenzene. All three isomers are colorless chlorobenzenes with the formula C 6 H 4 Cl 2. They differ structurally based on where the two chlorine atoms are attached to the ring.
Disperse Yellow 42, a popular dye for polyesters, is derived from 1,4-dichloro-2-nitrobenzene. [1] 1,4-Dichloro-2-nitrobenzene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 3 Cl 2 NO 2. One of several isomers of dichloronitrobenzene, it is a yellow solid that is insoluble in water. It is produced by nitration of 1,4-dichlorobenzene. It is a ...
1,4-Dicyanobenzene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CN) 2. Two other isomers exist, phthalonitrile and isophthalonitrile. All three isomers are produced commercially by ammoxidation of the corresponding xylene isomers. 1,4-Dicyanobenzene is a colorless or white solid with low solubility in water. [1]
Both naphthalene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene undergo sublimation, meaning that they transition from a solid state directly into a gas; this gas is toxic to moths and moth larvae. [ 1 ] Due to the health risks of 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and flammability of naphthalene, other substances like camphor are sometimes used.
The PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) polymer is formed by reaction of sodium sulfide with 1,4-dichlorobenzene: n ClC 6 H 4 Cl + n Na 2 S → [C 6 H 4 S] n + 2n NaCl Hill and Edmonds, developers of PPS. The process for commercially producing this material was initially developed by Dr. H. Wayne Hill Jr. and James T. Edmonds at Phillips Petroleum. [7]
The dichlorobenzene ends up in the urine as dichlorophenol. The toxicology says that it is not very toxic to liver cells. And whyt I find funny is that more than 90% of all americans contain significant amounts of p-dichlorobenzene and some upto 450 microgramm per liter urin.
The LD50 (oral, rats) is 756 mg/kg. Animal studies have shown that 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene affects the liver and kidney, and is possibly a teratogen. [4] There is no regulated occupational exposure limit for chemical exposure, but the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends no greater exposure than 5 ppm, over an 8-hour workday.
