'''Chloranil''' is a ] with the molecular formula C<sub>6</sub>Cl<sub>4</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Also known as tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone, it is a yellow solid. Like the parent benzoquinone, chloranil is a planar molecule<ref name=Kochi> J.-M. Lü, S. V. Rosokha, I. S. Neretin and J. K. Kochi, "Quinones as Electron Acceptors. X-Ray Structures, Spectral (EPR, UV-vis) Characteristics and Electron-Transfer Reactivities of Their Reduced Anion Radicals as Separated vs Contact Ion Pairs" Journal of the American Chemical Society 2006 128, 16708-16719.{{doi|10.1021/ja066471o}}</ref> that functions as a mild oxidant.

==Synthesis and use as reagent==
Chloranil is produced by chlorination of phenol to give ] ("hexachlorophenol"). Hydrolysis of the dichloromethylene group in this dienone gives chloranil:<ref>François Muller and Liliane Caillard "Chlorophenols" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2011. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.a07_001.pub2}}</ref>
:C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OH + 6 Cl<sub>2</sub> → C<sub>6</sub>Cl<sub>6</sub>O + 6 HCl
:C<sub>6</sub>Cl<sub>6</sub>O + H<sub>2</sub>O → C<sub>6</sub>Cl<sub>4</sub>O<sub>2</sub> + 2 HCl

Chloroanil serves as a hydrogen acceptor. It is more electrophilic than quinone itself. It is used for the aromatization reactions, such as the conversion of ]s to the benzene derivatives.<ref>Derek R. Buckle "Chloranil" in ''Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis'', 2001, John Wiley. {{doi|10.1002/047084289X.rc057}}</ref>

Chloranil is used to test for free secondary amines. This test is useful for checking for the presence of ] derivatives. It is also a good test for the successful deprotection of a secondary amine. Secondary amines react with chloranil to give a brown/red/orange derivative, the colour depending on the amine. In these reactions, the amine displaces chloride from the ring of the quinone.

==Commercial applications==
It is a precursor to many dyes, such as ] and diaziquone (AZQ), a cancer chemotherapeutic agent.
