Product Information

• Name: 3-Chloro-2-nitrobenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Chloro-2-nitrobenzonitrile is a postulated intermediate in the synthesis of benzoic acid and isomers. It can be obtained by reacting phosphorus pentachloride with an aromatic compound containing a benzene ring with substituents that contain nitrile groups. The reaction of 3-chloro-2-nitrobenzonitrile with water produces benzoic acid. This transformation is attributed to the formation of an unstable intermediate, which then decomposes to form a more stable product.
