3,5-Dichloroaniline

3,5-Dichloroaniline is an organic compound with the formula C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>(NH<sub>2</sub>). It is one of several isomers of dichloroaniline. It is a colorless solid although commercial samples often appear colored. It is produced by hydrogenation of 3,5-dichloronitrobenzene. It is a precursor to the fungicide vinclozolin.

Safety and environmental aspects

Its 72-h EC<sub>50</sub> in an algal growth inhibition assay is 4.39 mg/L. Biodegradation of dichloroanilines usually proceeds via initial ring hydroxylation.
