Photolysis of TCBs in aqueous solutions of sodium nitrite and triethylamine (TEA) at neutral pH has been investigated. TCBs yielded trichloronitrobenzenes(TCNBs) as primary photoproducts, and their corresponding trichlorophenols (TCPs) via two types of reaction, one, nitration, and the other, by direct hydroxylation with OH radical. Isomerized products and TCBs were also identified. Photosensitization with TEA resulted in the formation of small yields of dichlorobenzenes(DCBs) by reductive dechlorination of TCBs.
