| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
White to off-white crystals. | [Reactivity Profile]
Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds, such as 1,2,3,4-TETRACHLOROBENZENE(634-66-2), are very unreactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. | [Air & Water Reactions]

WHITE CRYSTALLINE SOLID | [Definition]
ChEBI: A tetrachlorobenzene carrying chloro groups at positions 1, 2 , 3 and 4. | [Environmental Fate]
Biological. A mixed culture of soil bacteria or a Pseudomonas sp. transformed 1,2,3,4-
tetrachlorobenzene to 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenol (Ballschiter and Scholz, 1980). After incubation in
sewage sludge for 32 d under anaerobic conditions, 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene did not biodegrade
(Kirk et al., 1989). The half-life of 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene in an anaerobic enrichment culture
was 26.4 h (Beurskens et al., 1993). Potrawfke et al. (1998) reported that a pure culture of
Pseudomonas chlororaphis RW71 mineralized 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene as a sole source of
carbon and energy. Intermediate biodegradation products identified were tetrachlorocatechol,
tetrachloromuconic acid, 2,3,5-trichlorodienelactone, 2,3,5-trichloro-4-hydroxymuconic acid.
In an enrichment culture derived from a contaminated site in Bayou d’Inde, LA, 1,2,4,5-
tetrachlorobenzene underwent reductive dechlorination yielding 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. The
maximum dechlorination rate, based on the recommended Michaelis-Menten model, was 208
nM/d (Pavlostathis and Prytula, 2000).
Photolytic. Irradiation (λ ≥285 nm) of 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene (1.1–1.2 mM/L) in an
acetonitrile-water mixture containing acetone (0.553 mM/L) as a sensitizer gave the following
products (% yield): 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene (9.2), 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (32.6), 1,3-dichlorobenzene
(5.2), 1,4-dichlorobenzene (1.5), 2,2′,3,3′,4,4′,5-heptachlorobiphenyl (2.52), 2,2′,3,3′,4,5,6′-
heptachlorobiphenyl (1.22), 10 hexachlorobiphenyls (3.50), five pentachlorobiphenyls (0.87),
dichlorophenyl cyanide, two trichloroacetophenones, trichlorocyanophenol, (trichlorophenyl)
acetonitriles, and 1-(trichlorophenyl)-2-propanone (Choudhry and Hutzinger, 1984). Without
acetone, the identified photolysis products (% yield) included 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene (7.8), 1,2,4-
trichlorobenzene (26.8), 1,2-dichlorobenzene (0.5), 1,3-dichlorobenzene (0.7), 1,4-dichloro-benzene
(30.4), 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene (2.26), 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene (0.72), 2,2′,3,3′,4,4′,5-
heptachlorobiphenyl (<0.01), and 2,2′,3,3′,4,5,6′-heptachlorobiphenyl (<0.01) (Choudhry and
Hutzinger, 1984). The sunlight irradiation of 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene (20 g) in a 100-mL
borosilicate glass-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask for 56 d yielded 4,280 ppm heptachlorobiphenyl
(Uyeta et al., 1976). | [Solubility in water]
Soluble in acetic acid, ether, ligroin (Weast, 1986), and very soluble in many chlorinated solvents
including chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise it from EtOH. [Beilstein 5 H 204, 5 II 156, 5 III 550, 5 IV 667.] |
