2,5-Dichloro-1,3-benzenedicarbonitrile

Description:

2,5-Dichloro-1,3-benzenedicarbonitrile, with the CAS number 109292-89-9, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring two chlorine substituents and two cyano groups. This compound is a derivative of benzenedicarbonitrile, where the chlorine atoms are positioned at the 2 and 5 carbon positions of the benzene ring. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a crystalline form. The presence of cyano groups (-C≡N) contributes to its polarity and potential reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The chlorine atoms enhance its stability and may influence its solubility in organic solvents. As with many halogenated compounds, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its synthesis and applications are of interest in the field of organic chemistry, particularly in the development of functional materials and intermediates.
