Product Description

Chlorobenzene is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₅Cl. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a distinct almond-like odor. This compound is an essential intermediate in the chemical industry, widely used for its solvent properties and as a building block in the synthesis of various organic substances.

Chlorobenzene is primarily produced through the chlorination of benzene in the presence of a catalyst, typically ferric chloride (FeCl₃) or anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl₃). The process involves substituting a hydrogen atom on the benzene ring with a chlorine atom, resulting in the formation of chlorobenzene. The reaction is carried out at elevated temperatures (50-100°C) to facilitate the substitution.

Chlorobenzene is a versatile chemical used in various applications. It serves as a solvent for adhesives, paints, and coatings, providing good solubility for resins and other organic compounds. In the agrochemical industry, chlorobenzene is an important intermediate in synthesizing herbicides and pesticides, contributing to efficient crop protection. The pharmaceutical industry utilizes chlorobenzene as a solvent and reagent in producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Additionally, chlorobenzene is a precursor in manufacturing chemicals like phenol and aniline, which are further used in dyes, rubber, and plastic industries.
