Benzoyl chloride, 2-chloro-5-cyano- (9CI)

Description:

Benzoyl chloride, 2-chloro-5-cyano- (CAS 122483-59-4) is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a benzoyl group and a cyano group, along with a chlorine atom. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity. This compound is known for its role as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is highly reactive, especially towards nucleophiles, due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon in the benzoyl group. The presence of the cyano group enhances its reactivity and can influence the electronic properties of the molecule. Benzoyl chloride, 2-chloro-5-cyano- is also sensitive to moisture and can hydrolyze to form benzoic acid and hydrochloric acid upon contact with water. Proper handling and storage in a controlled environment are essential due to its corrosive nature and potential health hazards associated with exposure.
