Chemical Properties
ochre powder
Uses
Intermediate in the manufacture of azo dyes,
pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds.
Application
Commercial 4-chloro-3-nitroaniline could be used as a starting material for 3-azido-4-chlorophenylisothiocyanate through a 5-step synthesis. In order to research the impact of the strain on the metabolite profile of plasma samples in rats, 45 mg/kg bw/day 4-chloro-3-nitroaniline (4C3N) was evaluated for 4 weeks. 4C3N administration led to extravascular hemolytic anemia with a few metabolome changes, which were strain-dependent [1-2].
Hazard
Toxic by ingestion and inhalation.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and
intraperitoneal routes. Experimental
reproductive effects. Skin and eye irritant.
When heated to decomposition it emits
toxic fumes of NOx and Cl-.
