Application
1. 2,4-Dichlorotoluene is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. It serves as a starting material for the synthesis of herbicides, insecticides, and pharmaceuticals. The mechanism of action of 2,4-Dichlorotoluene in these applications involves its ability to disrupt the growth and development of target organisms, such as weeds or pests.
2. 2,4-Dichlorotoluene was used as an oxidant and a solvent during anaerobic catalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols by using an in situ (N-heterocyclic carbene)-Ni(0) system. It was used as growth supplement in the culture media of Ralstonia sp. strain PS12. It was used to develop a sensitive method based on solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the analysis of chlorotoluenes in water samples.
