What is a Chlorobenzene (C₆H₅Cl) ?

Chlorobenzene (C₆H₅Cl) is an aromatic organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with one chlorine atom attached. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. Chlorobenzene has low water solubility but mixes well with organic solvents. It was historically used in the production of DDT, but now serves mainly as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and as a solvent. It plays a key role in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and rubber processing chemicals. Exposure can affect the central nervous system and liver, so proper ventilation and protective equipment are necessary. It is also persistent in the environment, requiring careful handling.
