2-Nitrochlorobenzene is an organic compound with the formula ClC6H4NO2. It is one of three isomeric nitrochlorobenzenes. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is important as a precursor to other compounds due to its two functional groups.
==Synthesis== Nitrochlorobenzene is typically synthesized by nitration of chlorobenzene in the presence of sulfuric acid: C6H5Cl + HNO3 → O2NC6H4Cl + H2O
