Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties

• Boiling Point: 265-268 °C
• Melting Point: 23-25 °C
• Specific Gravity (20 °C): 1.22 g/mL
• Refractive Index (20 °C): 1.562
• Vapor Pressure: Low volatility at room temperature.

Chemical Properties

• Nitrile Reactivity: The cyano group (-CN) can undergo hydrolysis to form o-chlorophenylacetic acid, reduction to o-chlorophenylamine, or condensation reactions (e.g., with aldehydes/ketones in Knoevenagel condensations).
• Halogen Substitution: The chlorine atom on the benzene ring is moderately reactive, susceptible to nucleophilic substitution under strong conditions (e.g., with hydroxyl ions or amines).
• Aromaticity: Part of the benzene ring, contributing to stability and enabling electrophilic substitution reactions on the ring.

Applications

1. Pharmaceutical Intermediates
   • Synthesis of Drugs: A key building block for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, such as antifungal agents, antidepressants, and anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, it is used in the synthesis of certain imidazole-based antifungals.
   • Heterocyclic Compounds: Provides a platform for constructing heterocyclic rings (e.g., pyridines, quinolines) through cyclization reactions.
2. Agricultural Chemicals
   • Pesticide Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, contributing to the development of crop protection agents.
3. Organic Synthesis
   • Intermediate for Fine Chemicals: Facilitates the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and fragrance compounds.
   • Grignard Reactions: Can react with Grignard reagents to form substituted nitriles, which are further converted to carboxylic acids or amines.
4. Research and Development
   • Laboratory Reagent: Used in organic chemistry research for method development and the synthesis of novel compounds.

Safety Considerations

• Toxicity: Toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. The nitrile group can release hydrogen cyanide (HCN) under acidic or hydrolytic conditions, posing a poisoning risk.
• Irritation: Causes skin and eye irritation; may be harmful to mucous membranes.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture, acids, and oxidizing agents. Use airtight containers to prevent hydrolysis.
• Handling: Require proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid contact with water or aqueous solutions without appropriate precautions.
