Abstract

A novel oxidation for pentachlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenol using [bis-(trifluoroacetoxy)]iodobenzene has been developed, and the oxidation products from pentachlorophenol and 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenol have been identified as tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone; this novel reaction can be applied in electrochemistry using glucose oxidase for sensitive determination and identification of PCP, one of the most toxic polychlorinated phenols.
