2-Chloro-4-methylbenzonitrile - Introduction

Nature:
It is a colorless to light yellow crystal with a peculiar smell. It is a solid at room temperature and can be evaporated after heating. It has good solubility and can be dissolved in organic solvents.

Use:
It is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Because its structure contains cyano and halogen groups, it can be used to synthesize other organic compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, dyes and pesticides. It can also be used as a raw material for Organic Synthesis Reagents and catalysts.

Method:
can be obtained by the reaction of benzoyl chloride and hydrogen chloride in the presence of potassium hydroxide. For specific synthetic routes, reference can be made to relevant documents such as organic chemical synthesis manuals.

Safety Information:
It is an organic substance. The following safety precautions should be paid attention to when using and storing: avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid inhaling gas or solution. Wear protective gloves, glasses and a protective mask to ensure a well-ventilated laboratory environment. If contact or inhalation occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help.
