Chlorobenzene (abbreviated PhCl) is an aryl chloride and the simplest of the chlorobenzenes, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with one chlorine atom. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 5 Cl. This colorless, flammable liquid is a common solvent and a widely used intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals.

The LD50 (oral, rats) is 756 mg/kg. Animal studies have shown that 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene affects the liver and kidney, and is possibly a teratogen. [4] There is no regulated occupational exposure limit for chemical exposure, but the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends no greater exposure than 5 ppm, over an 8-hour workday.
Hexachlorobenzene, or perchlorobenzene, is an aryl chloride and a six-substituted chlorobenzene with the molecular formula C 6 Cl 6. It is a fungicide formerly used as a seed treatment, especially on wheat to control the fungal disease bunt. It has been banned globally under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. [6]
The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health considers 4-nitrochlorobenzene as a potential occupational carcinogen. [5] The Occupational Safety and Health Administration set a permissible exposure limit of 1 mg/m 3 The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recommends an airborne exposure limit of 0.64 mg/m 3 over a time-weighted average of eight hours.
Pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) is an aryl chloride and a five-substituted chlorobenzene with the molecular formula C 6 HCl 5 which is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon.It consists of a benzene ring substituted with five chlorine atoms.
4,4’-Dichlorobenzophenone is prepared by the acylation of chlorobenzene with 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride. The conversion is typically conducted in the presence of an aluminium chloride catalyst in a petroleum ether solvent. ClC 6 H 5 C(O)Cl + C 6 H 5 Cl → (ClC 6 H 4) 2 CO + HCl
1,2-Dichlorobenzene is obtained as a side-product of the production of chlorobenzene: C 6 H 5 Cl + Cl 2 → C 6 H 4 Cl 2 + HCl. The reaction also affords the 1,4- and small amounts of the 1,3-isomer. The 1,4- isomer is preferred over the 1,2- isomer due to steric hindrance.
