Product Details

Chloromaleic-anhydride.html">material/benzene.html">benzene is a monocyclic aromatic compound in which one hydrogen atom on the benzene ring is replaced by a chlorine atom. It is synthesized via liquid-phase chlorination of benzene using a catalyst. At room temperature, chlorobenzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet almond‑like odor. It has a relatively high vapor pressure, a moderate octanol-water partition coefficient (log P = 2.8), and moderate to low water solubility (497.9 mg/L at 25 °C). Chlorobenzene dissolves well in nonpolar solvents but is nearly insoluble in water. Technical‑grade chlorobenzene is typically 99% pure, with impurities including less than 0.05% benzene and less than 0.1% dichlorobenzenes. It serves as a common solvent and a widely used intermediate in the production of other chemicals. The bacterium Rhodococcus phenolicus can utilize chlorobenzene as its only carbon source for degradation.Chlorobenzene

Product Application of Chlorobenzene CAS#108-90-7
As a halogenated benzene derivative, chlorobenzene is used as a solvent in paints, a heat transfer medium, and in the industrial production of phenol, aniline, and nitrochlorobenzenes. Currently, its main applications include serving as a solvent for pesticide formulations, supporting diisocyanate manufacturing, degreasing automotive components, and enabling the synthesis of nitrochlorobenzene as well as QSAR studies related to agricultural chemical toxicity and pollution.
