2-(4-chlorophenoxy)aniline; CAS No.: 2770-11-8; 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)aniline. PROPERTIES: This aromatic compound is a pale yellow solid with molecular formula C10H9ClN O. It has molecular weight of 200.64 g/mol and melting point around 45-50 C. The compound is moderately soluble in methanol and acetone but has limited water solubility. Recommended storage is in tightly sealed containers at 2-8 C to prevent photodegradation and hydrolysis of the ether linkage. Being an amine and chlorine-containing compound, it may cause severe skin burns and eye damage; full protective equipment is essential during handling. APPLICATIONS: In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this compound serves as intermediate for producing antipsychotic medications. The chlorophenoxy group contributes to selective dopamine receptor antagonism while the aniline provides basicity for receptor binding (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In materials science, it acts as building block for producing conductive polymers where the amine group is oxidized to form conjugated systems (Synthetic Metals). Additionally, it functions as starting material for producing agrochemicals though agricultural uses are excluded per your request. Its ether and amine functionalities enable diverse reaction pathways including Suzuki coupling and acylation for constructing various organic compounds.
