chloroanilidetype
Chloroanilides are a class of organic compounds that contain both a chloro group and an anilide functional group. The anilide group is formed by the reaction of an amine with a carboxylic acid derivative, typically an acyl halide or anhydride. In the case of chloroanilides, the amine is usually aniline, which is a benzene ring with an amino group attached. The chloro substituent can be located anywhere on the benzene ring of the aniline moiety or on the acyl portion of the molecule.
These compounds find applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. For instance, some chloroanilides have
