It is a [[benzene]] derivative with two [[chlorine]] atoms substituted at adjacent positions. It is a colorless liquid that is insoluble in water, but is miscible with [[ethanol]], [[diethyl ether]] and benzene. 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is used as a solvent for waxes, gums, resins, tars, rubbers, and oils. It is a preferred solvent in some chemical reactions involving [[fullerene]]s. It is also used as a degreasing agent for metals, leather and wool. 1,2-Dichlorobenzene is an [[insecticide]] for termites and locust borers. ==See also== *[[Chlorobenzene]] *[[1,3-Dichlorobenzene]] *[[1,4-Dichlorobenzene]] ==References== {{Citationstyle|date=September 2007}} <references/> *''Merck Index'', 11th Edition, '''3044''' {{DEFAULTSORT:Dichlorobenzene, 1,2-}} [[Category:Aromatic compounds|Dichlorobenzene, 1,2-]] [[Category:Organochlorides]] [[Category:Organochloride insecticides|Dichlorobenzene, 1,2-]] [[de:1,2-Dichlorbenzol]] [[it:1,2-diclorobenzene]]
