Chlorobenzene as a Chemical Intermediate
Chlorobenzene (CAS 108-90-7) is a versatile aromatic intermediate. Its main use is nitration to para- and ortho-nitrochlorobenzene, which feed aniline derivatives, dye intermediates and pesticide chemistry. It is also used as a high-boiling solvent in rubber, adhesives and paint stripping, and as a heat-transfer medium.
