What is 4-Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid?

Description

4-Chlorobenzenesulfonic acid is soluble in water and ethanol. Prepared by sulfonation of chlorobenzene with sulfuric acid; the water formed in the reaction is removed continuously. It can be hydrolyzed to chlorobenzene with steam at 190℃ and is used in the manufacture of 4-chloro-3-nitroben- zenesulfonic acid.

Chemical properties

greyish-beige flaked solid
