C6H4ClNH2
C6H4ClNH2 is the chemical formula for chloroaniline. This formula represents a group of isomeric organic compounds where a chlorine atom and an amino group are attached to a benzene ring. There are three possible positional isomers: 2-chloroaniline (ortho-chloroaniline), 3-chloroaniline (meta-chloroaniline), and 4-chloroaniline (para-chloroaniline). Each isomer has distinct physical and chemical properties. Generally, chloroanilines are crystalline solids at room temperature and are sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
These compounds are typically synthesized through the reduction of corresponding nitrochlorobenzenes. For example, 4-chloroaniline is often
