Application

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.

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of α-bromo-2,6-dichlorotoluene (αBDCT) have been recorded. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state have been calculated using Hartree Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT)/B3LYP with the standard 6-31++G(d,p) basis

We address the recent debate surrounding the ability of 2,4-difluorotoluene (F), a low-polarity mimic of thymine (T), to form a hydrogen-bonded complex with adenine in DNA. The hydrogen bonding ability of F has been characterized as small to zero in

The selective, anaerobic catalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols at room temperature by using an in situ (N-heterocyclic carbene)-Ni(0) system is presented. The use of non-anhydrous, non-degassed 2,4-dichlorotoluene as both the oxidant and the solvent allows for very short reaction times

Ralstonia sp. strain PS12 is able to use 2,4-, 2,5-, and 3,4-dichlorotoluene as growth substrates. Dichloromethylcatechols are central intermediates that are formed by TecA tetrachlorobenzene dioxygenase-mediated activation at two adjacent unsubstituted carbon atoms followed by TecB chlorobenzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase-catalyzed rearomatization
