clear colourless to very slightly yellow liquid
2-Chlorobenzoyl chloride, is used in organic synthesis. It is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate for eg as an intermediate of clotrimazolc, preparation of p-chlorobenzoic acid and production of trichloro-acaricide.
ChEBI: An acyl chloride consisting of benzoyl chloride having a chloro substituent in the ortho-position.
2-Chlorobenzoyl chloride reacts with aromatic amines and ammonium thiocyanate using polyethylene glycol-400 as the catalyst under the condition of solid-liquid phase-transfer catalysis to form N-aryl-N′(2-chlorobenzoyl) thioureas. 2-Chlorobenzoyl chloride causes the acylation of polystyrene during the preparation and regeneration of the polystyrene-based resin.
