A colorless liquid. Not soluble in water. Density about 8.9 lb / gal. Hence sinks in water. Flash point below 141°F. May be irritating and narcotic in high concentrations. Used as a solvent and as an intermediate to make chemicals and dyes.Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds are very unreactive; halogenated aliphatic compounds are moderately or very reactive. For both subgroups, reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms.
