3,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile

3,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile is an aromatic nitrile-function compound featuring a benzene ring substituted with two chlorine atoms at positions 3 and 4, and a cyano group. It falls under HTS 2926.90.1200 as one of the 'other' dichlorobenzonitriles, distinct from specifically enumerated isomers. This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.

2,5-Dichlorobenzonitrile

2,5-Dichlorobenzonitrile is a synthetic aromatic compound with chlorine substituents at the ortho and para positions relative to the nitrile group. Classified under HTS 2926.90.1200 as 'other' dichlorobenzonitriles, it serves as a key building block for herbicides and pharmaceutical intermediates. The two chloro groups provide specific reactivity for nucleophilic substitution reactions.

2,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile

2,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile features chlorine substitution ortho and para to the cyano group, providing electron-withdrawing effects ideal for organic synthesis. As an 'other' dichlorobenzonitrile, it imports under HTS 2926.90.1200 and serves as precursor for substituted benzoic acids and pharmaceuticals. Meets Chapter 29 criteria for separate chemically defined aromatic compounds.
