General Description

2,3-dichlorobut-2-enedinitrile is a highly toxic chemical compound with the chemical formula C4H2Cl2N2. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. 2,3-dichlorobut-2-enedinitrile is primarily used as an agricultural pesticide and herbicide, although it is banned for use in some countries due to its toxic effects on both humans and the environment. Exposure to 2,3-dichlorobut-2-enedinitrile can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, as well as more serious health effects such as nausea, vomiting, and central nervous system depression. Additionally, it has been found to be a potential carcinogen and mutagen, leading to restrictions on its use and handling.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ISOTHIAZOLE DERIVATIVE

A process for producing 3,4-dichloro-5-cyanoisothiazole represented by a general formula (3): the process comprising: reacting a nitrile compound represented by a general formula (1): (wherein “n” denotes an integer of 0 to 2), with sulfur chloride represented by a general formula (2): [Chemical Formula 18] SmCl2 ??(2) (wherein “m” represents an integer of 1 to 2), or a mixture thereof in an aprotic polar solvent. There is provided a process for producing 3,4-dichloro-5-cyanoisothiazole, which is capable of suppressing by-production of a waste, without using a raw material having a having a strong toxicity; and is capable of providing a product having a higher purity in a high yield and efficiency in an industrial scale, in a simple manner.
