The Uses of TECNAZENE

1,2,4,5-Tetrachloro-3-nitrobenzene, is a metabolite of pentachloronitrobenzene (P237990), used as fungicide, and pesticide.

What are the applications of Application

1,2,4,5-Tetrachloro-3-nitrobenzene is a fungicide

Definition

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A C-nitro compound that is nitrobenzene in which the four hydrogens located ortho- and para- to the nitro group have been replaced by chlorines.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.

General Description

Pale yellow crystals.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

TECNAZENE will behave as a weak oxidizer, and will react with strong reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: TECNAZENE may cause irritation on contact. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes.
