pale grey or beige-brown to red-brown crystalline. Melting point 63°C, boiling point 245°C, relative density 1.567 (20/4°C), soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether and acids. Slightly soluble in water. The color will be darkened in air.
2,4-Dichloroaniline is used as a raw material for the synthesis of anti-infective drug ciprofloxacin, pesticide fungicide Imibenconazole, herbicide (PUMA) and dyes.
2,4-Dichloroaniline may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in water samples by ultrasound-assisted ionic liquid dispersive liquid-phase micro-extraction, capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical and fluorescence detection and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively.
2,4-Dichloroaniline is
used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyestuffs, pigments,
and pesticides.
2,4-Dichloroaniline is synthesized from acetanilide by chlorination and hydrolysis.
ChEBI: 2,4-dichloroaniline is a dichloroaniline carrying chloro substituents at positions 2 and 4.
2,4-Dichloroaniline may be sensitive to exposure to air. Insoluble in water.
2,4-Dichloroaniline is incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and oxidizing agents.
Flash point data for 2,4-Dichloroaniline are not available. 2,4-Dichloroaniline is probably combustible.
