Description

2-Chlorobenzonitrile is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is an aryl halide and has a chemical structure of C6ClCN. 2-Chlorobenzonitrile is used as a raw material for the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals. This compound reacts with hydrochloric acid to form 4-chlorobenzonitrile, which can be used in the synthesis of other chemicals. 2-Chlorobenzonitrile can also react with n-dimethyl formamide in an optimal reaction solution to form 4-chlorobenzonitrile. The FTIR spectroscopy on this compound shows that it has a chloride group at 795 cm−1. The optimum reaction temperature for this compound is between 100 and 120 °C, but it will react with inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid at higher temperatures. Synthesis of this compound can be done by reacting
