Usage

Description

(E)-4,4',α,β-Tetrachlorostilbene is a highly toxic and persistent chemical compound belonging to the group of stilbene derivatives. It is characterized by its ability to bioaccumulate in living organisms and the environment, posing significant health and environmental risks. (E)-4,4',α,β-Tetrachlorostilbene features a central stilbene backbone with four chlorine atoms attached to alternating carbon atoms, making it a potential environmental contaminant of concern.

Uses

Given the highly toxic nature of (E)-4,4',α,β-Tetrachlorostilbene and its potential negative impact on human health and the environment, it is crucial to limit its production, use, and release. As a result, there are no recommended applications for this compound in any industry. Instead, efforts should be directed towards finding alternative, safer substances to replace it in any potential applications it may have had.

CONVERSION OF DISILANES TO FUNCTIONAL MONOSILANES. XIII. THE PALLADIUM CATALYZED REDUCTIVE COUPLING OF BENZYLIDENE DICHLORIDES AND BENZYLIDYNE TRICHLORIDES USING DISILANES AS REDUCING AGENTS.

The reaction of benzylidene dichlorides or benzylidene trichlorides with 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-disilane or hexamethyldisilane proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh//3)//4 to give (E)-stilbenes or (E)- and (Z)- alpha beta -dichlorostilbenes in high yields, respectively. Also, in the presence of the palladium (0) catalyst, alpha , alpha -dichlorobenzyltrimethylsilanes reacted with hexamethyldisilane yielding (E)- alpha , beta -bis(trimethylsilyl)stilbenes in quantitative yield.
