Dienochlor is an organochlorine compound included in the group of cyclic chlorinated hydrocarbons. Its chemical formula is C
10Cl
10.[1] Dienochlor is mostly used as a pesticide and ovicide.
Dienochlor can be obtained by catalytic reduction of hexachlorocyclopentadiene (e.g. with copper or hydrogen).[2]
Properties
Dienochlor is a combustible yellow solid which is practically insoluble in water. It decomposes when heated above 250 °C. It decomposes rapidly under the influence of sunlight.
