Tetrachloro-m-xylene (tetrachlorometaxylene, or TCMX) is the organochlorine compound with the formula C6Cl4(CH3)2. It is the chlorinated derivative of m-xylene in which the four aromatic hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine. It is prepared by ferric chloride-catalyzed reaction of the xylene with chlorine.[1]
TCMX is used as an internal standard in the analysis of organochlorides, particularly organochloride pesticides.[2][3]
