1,2,4,5-Tetrachloro-3-nitrobenzene, is a metabolite of pentachloronitrobenzene (P237990), used as fungicide, and pesticide.
ChEBI: A C-nitro compound that is nitrobenzene in which the four hydrogens located ortho- and para- to the nitro group have been replaced by chlorines. A fungicide used to control dry rot, it is no longer approved for
se within the European Union.
TECNAZENE will behave as a weak oxidizer, and will react with strong reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides.
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: TECNAZENE may cause irritation on contact. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes.
Flash point data for TECNAZENE are not available. TECNAZENE is probably combustible.
Crystallise it from aqueous EtOH or H2O. [Beilstein 5 III 617, 5 IV 728.]
