2 4 6-TRICHLOROBENZYL ALCOHOL 97 Usage And Synthesis

Uses

2,4,6-Trichlorobenzyl Alcohol is an intermediate in the synthesis of 1,3,5-Trichloro-2-methylbenzene (T774363). 1,3,5-Trichloro-2-methylbenzene can be used as reactant/reagent in hydrodechlorination process and catalysts for the production of 2,?6-?dichlorotoluene from polychlorotoluene-?containing mixtures. Also, it is derived from 2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoic Acid (T774715), which is a possible degradation intermediate of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in contaminated soil, suggesting the occurrence of microbial transformation processes over time.
