Chlorobenzene is a colourless, flammable liquid with an aromatic, almond-like odor. It is practically insoluble in water (0.049 g/100 ml). It is soluble in methanol, benzene, chloroform, and diethyl ether. Being a volatile solvent it readily evaporates.
As one of the most widely used chlorinated benzenes, chlorobenzene has been a major chemical for at least 50 years. It was historically important in the manufacture of chlorinated pesticides, especially DDT, and in the production of phenol and aniline. Chlorobenzene’s principal current use is as a chemical intermediate in the production of chemicals such as nitrochlorobenzenes and diphenyl oxide. These chemicals are subsequently used in the production of herbicides, dyestuffs, and rubber chemicals. Additionally, monochlorobenzene is used as a solvent in degreasing processes (e.g., in metal cleaning operations), paints, adhesives, waxes and polishes.
