CAS 108-70-3: 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene

1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene is a chlorinated aromatic compound that is used as an intermediate in the production of rubber and plastics. 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene has a hydrophobic effect due to the presence of three carbon chains. This property allows 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene to dissolve in oils and fats. It has a high solubility in pentane and hexane. The molecular weight of 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene is 116.1 g/mol. 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene can also be used as a solvent for diazonium salts which react with hydrogen chloride to produce azo dyes. The structural analysis of this compound was performed by NMR spectroscopy on the hydrogen bond between the chlorine atom and methyl group adjacent to it. The NMR spectrum data was then modeled using molecular modeling software. 1

1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene is used in metal treatments, in industrial deodorants, in cleaners for drains.
