C6H3Cl4N

C6H3Cl4N is the chemical formula for a tetrachlorinated aniline derivative. Anilines are organic compounds that are derivatives of benzene, where one hydrogen atom is replaced by an amino group (-NH2). In this specific compound, the benzene ring has four chlorine atoms attached to it, in addition to the amino group. The precise arrangement of these chlorine atoms on the ring is not specified by the formula alone and would require a more detailed structural representation or IUPAC name. Tetrachlorinated anilines are generally solids and can exhibit varying degrees of solubility in different solvents. Their chemical properties are influenced by both the electron-withdrawing nature of the chlorine atoms and the basicity of the amino group. These compounds can be synthesized through various chlorination reactions of aniline or its derivatives. Depending on their specific structure and purity, tetrachlorinated anilines may find applications as intermediates in the synthesis of dyes, pesticides, or other specialty chemicals. However, like many chlorinated organic compounds, they can also pose environmental and health concerns due to their potential persistence and toxicity. Further research into specific isomers and their detailed properties is often necessary for a comprehensive understanding of their behavior and applications.
