Chlorobenzene is used in organic synthesis and dyestuffs. It is also used as a solvent for adhesives, drugs, rubber, paints and dry cleaning, and as a fiber-swelling agent in textile processing. It is utilized in chemoenzymatic synthesis of (+)-aspicilin and cyclohexane by hydrogenation over colloidal Pt nanocatalysts under ambient conditions.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
