Tetrachlorocatechol is an organochlorine compound with the formula C₆Cl₄(OH)₂. It is a white solid. It results from the degradation of the controversial pesticide pentachlorophenol.^[2] It is a precursor to the reagent TRISPHAT. Its conjugate base also functions as a ligand for transition metals.^[3]
