2,4-Dichloro-1-(dichloromethyl)benzene is a white solid, mp42℃, bp118～120℃/1.86kpa, soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, ether and ketone.
2,4-Dichloro-1-(dichloromethyl)benzene is an intermediate for the preparation of 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde, which can be used for the production of fungicides such as diconazole.
2,4-dichlorotoluene and a small amount of PCl3 are used as catalysts, and chlorine gas is introduced to react, and finally 2,4-Dichloro-1-(dichloromethyl)benzene can be obtained.
