Chemical Properties
white to light beige crystalline needles
Uses
2-Amino-5-chlorobenzonitrile was used to build up the 2,2-dioxide-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazine ring system.
Preparation
Synthesis of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzonitrile is reported in the literature by two methods. The first method involves synthesis from 2-aminobenzonitrile, N-chlorosuccinimide an d acetonitrile. The second method involves synthesis from 5-chloroisatin-β-oxime and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. Both the methods are not feasible commercially as far as the cost and availability of raw materials are concerned.
General Description
The vibrational spectra of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzonitrile was studied using density functinal theory.
