Compound Q&A
How is 3,3'-Dichlorobiphenyl (CAS: 2050-67-1) typically synthesized?
Answer
3,3'-Dichlorobiphenyl is typically synthesized through the chlorination of biphenyl using chlorine gas under controlled conditions. The reaction is catalyzed by Lewis acids such as aluminum chloride. The yields are generally high, and the selectivity towards the 3,3'-position is good, making it a preferred method for industrial production.
