Product Information

• Name: 3,5-Dichlorobenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,5-Dichlorobenzonitrile is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of halogen compounds. It is a white solid with a molecular weight of 165.07 g/mol and a melting point of 5 °C. 3,5-Dichlorobenzonitrile has been studied for its use as an intermediate in the production of 2,6-dichlorobenzoic acid (DCBA). DCBA is used in the manufacture of polyurethane foams and other chemicals. 3,5-Dichlorobenzonitrile can be synthesized by reacting hydrochloric acid with 2,6-dichlorophenol. It reacts with chloride ions to form dichloroacetyl chloride and HCl in water solution or with hydrogen chloride to form chloroform and hydrogen chloride gas. 3,5-Dichlorobenzonitrile has been shown to react at a rate proportional to the number
