Photolytic. Plimmer (1970) postulated that the irradiation of 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic
acid in methanol will undergo dechlorination forming 2,3-, 2,6- and 3,6-dichlorobenzoic
acids. Further irradiation may yield 2- and 3-chlorobenzoic acids which may ultimately
form benzoic acid (Plimmer, 1970).
Chemical/Physical. Reacts with alkalies and amines forming water-soluble salts.
