General description

3,4-Dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) is an aromatic amine and is a model environmental contaminant. It is an important precursor for the synthesis and degradation product of several herbicides. It is a metabolite of commonly applied herbicide, 3,4-dichloropropionanilide or propanil. Biodegradation kinetics of 3,4-DCA has been reported. Mechanism of degradation of aqueous 3,4-DCA in a novel dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor has been studied. 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 2-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone, 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate, 2-chlorohydroquinone, 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene and 3,4-dichlorophenol were identified as degradation intermediates by GC-MS analysis.

Application

3,4-Dichloroaniline may be employed as derivatization reagent for the HPLC analysis of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).

A simple derivatization method followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the analysis of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was developed. PFOA was firstly derivatized with 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) using carbodiimide method. The typical amidate product was characterized by mass spectrometry (MS).

This study models the biodegradation kinetics of two toxic xenobiotic compounds in enriched mixed cultures: a commonly applied herbicide (3,4-dichloropropionanilide or propanil) and its metabolite (3,4-dichloroaniline or DCA). The dependence of the metabolite degradation kinetics on the presence of the

Fish (embryo) toxicity test guidelines are mostly based on aquatic exposures. However, in some cases, other exposure routes can be more practical and relevant. Micro-injection into the yolk of fish embryos could offer a particular advantage for administering hydrophobic compounds
