Tetrachlorobenzene is any of three isomeric chlorobenzenes with the molecular formula C6H2Cl4.
They differ by the positions of the chlorine atoms around the ring.
Tetrachlorobenzenes are colorless crystalline compounds.
[1] 1,2,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzene can be produced by electrophilic halogenation of benzenes and some chlorobenzenes.
1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene once was used as intermediates in the production of pesicides,[3] specifically trichlorophenols.
