Application
45-Dichlorophthalonitrile is primarily used as a versatile reactant in the synthesis of various phthalonitrile derivatives such as 45-bis(34-dimethoxyphenyl) phthalonitrile and 45-bis(26-dimethoxyphenoxy) phthalonitrile and can also be employed in creating 45-diphenoxyphthalonitrile As a phthalonitrile derivative synthesized from 45-dichloro-12-benzenedicarboxamide it is characterized through advanced techniques like 1H 13C-NMR and IR spectroscopy This compound is particularly valuable because it undergoes base-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution with O- S- nucleophiles and acidic CH-containing compounds resulting in the formation of phthalonitrile derivatives These derivatives serve as essential precursors in the preparation of phthalocyanines which are significant for various industrial applications
