3-Chlorobenzhydrazide CAS:1673-47-8

3-Chlorobenzhydrazide functions as an important building block in organic synthesis. Due to the electronegative chlorine substituent, the benzene ring is activated towards electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic addition reactions. The hydrazide group can be reduced to an amine or oxidized to a carboxylic acid derivative. This makes 3-chlorobenzhydrazide a versatile precursor to synthesize various aromatic compounds and heterocycles of pharmaceutical interest through substitution and condensation reactions. It is also used in the preparation of agrochemicals and dyes. The presence of both chlorine and hydrazide functionalities expands its chemical reactivity and potential applications in fine chemical industries.
