Benzoyl chloride, 3-chloro-2-nitro-

Description:

Benzoyl chloride, 3-chloro-2-nitro- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoyl group, a chlorine atom, and a nitro group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a carbonyl group (C=O) adjacent to a chlorine atom and a nitro group (NO2), which significantly influence its reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, and it is known for being a reactive acyl chloride. It is soluble in organic solvents but reacts with water, producing hydrochloric acid and corresponding carboxylic acids. Due to its electrophilic nature, benzoyl chloride, 3-chloro-2-nitro- is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and poses health hazards upon exposure. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance.
