Product Overview
2-Chlorobenzenamine, commonly known as o-Chloroaniline, is a high-purity laboratory reagent designed for precision in chemical synthesis and analytical applications. This 99% pure compound serves as a critical building block in organic chemistry, particularly in the production of dyes, pharmaceutical intermediates, and agrochemicals. Its ortho-substituted structure provides unique reactivity, making it indispensable for halogenation and substitution reactions. The liquid form ensures easy handling and accurate dispensing in laboratory settings, while its reagent-grade purity guarantees consistent results in sensitive experiments. Stable under standard storage conditions, o-Chloroaniline maintains its integrity over extended periods when kept in tightly sealed containers away from moisture and direct sunlight. The compound’s versatility extends to its compatibility with common organic solvents, enabling seamless integration into existing synthetic protocols. For researchers requiring reliable performance in chlorination processes or aromatic amine chemistry, this reagent offers an optimal balance of purity, reactivity, and stability.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of o-Chloroaniline when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original tightly sealed container, o-Chloroaniline maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. Exposure to air or moisture may reduce its effective shelf life.
2. Can this compound be used directly in aqueous solutions?
o-Chloroaniline has limited solubility in water (approximately 1.5 g/L at 20°C) but dissolves readily in organic solvents like ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate. For aqueous applications, consider using a co-solvent or preparing a saturated solution.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Always use in a well-ventilated fume hood with proper personal protective equipment including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation and skin contact as it may cause irritation. Follow standard laboratory safety protocols for handling aromatic amines.
4. How does the purity of this reagent compare to technical-grade o-Chloroaniline?
This laboratory reagent grade offers 99% minimum purity, significantly higher than technical-grade versions which typically range between 90-95%. The higher purity ensures fewer impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions or analytical measurements.
5. What is the typical lead time for delivery in major Indian cities?
Standard delivery to metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai typically takes 3-5 business days. For tier-2 cities and remote locations, delivery may extend to 7-10 business days depending on logistics partner availability.
