'''1,2-Dichlorobenzene''', or ''ortho''-dichlorobenzene, is an [[organic compound]] used primarily as a high-boiling [[solvent]]. 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.
