2,5-Dichlornitrobenzen
Description
2,5-Dichloronitrobenzene (CAS 89-61-2), also known as 1,4-dichloro-2-nitrobenzene and Nitro-p-dichlorobenzene, is an aromatic halogenated intermediate used in the synthesis of dyes, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical compounds.
It serves as a key building block where selective chlorine displacement or nitro group reduction drives downstream chemistry. In agrochemical manufacturing, it functions as a precursor to herbicides and fungicides.
This chemical is particularly useful in the synthesis of chlorinated aniline derivatives. Pharmaceutical producers use it to build active ingredient frameworks requiring a dichlorophenyl or aminochlorophenyl core structure.
In dye and pigment manufacturing, it contributes to the production of azo and sulfur dye intermediates used in textile and printing ink formulations. It also supports polymerization initiation processes.
These processes often require halogenated aromatic compounds as reactive components. 2,5-Dichloronitrobenzene is supplied as a pale yellow to off-white crystalline solid for industrial use.
Technical grade is the standard commercial form, with purity levels typically ranging from 98% to 99%+ depending on the intended synthesis application. Packaging is available in drum and bulk quantities.
These formats are suited to industrial-scale procurement and global logistics. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and availability for large-scale chemical manufacturing and research development.
