| Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | white needle-like crystals or powder | Uses | Intermediate in dyes, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers,
and other organic materials; flame-retardant
in epoxy resins. | Uses | Tetrachlorophthalic Anhydride is used in the synthesis of nucleoside analogues with a specific structure as apoptosis inducing active compounds. Also used in the synthesis of carbonic anhydrase inhbitors. Chlorinated Reactive Flame Retardant Intermediate | Definition | ChEBI: A cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride that is phthalic anhydride chlorinated at the 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-positions. | General Description | Odorless needle-like crystals or white powder. | Air & Water Reactions | Sensitive to air and moisture. | Reactivity Profile | 4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-1,3-isobenzofurandione reacts exothermically with water. This reaction is expected to be slow, but can become vigorous if local heating accelerates it. Reaction with water is accelerated by acids. Incompatible with acids, strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, amines, and bases. | Fire Hazard | Flash point data for 4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-1,3-isobenzofurandione are not available. 4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-1,3-isobenzofurandione is probably combustible. | Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified | Purification Methods | Crystallise the anhydride from chloroform or *benzene, then sublime it in a vacuum.
