Applications
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.

Solubility
Miscible with alcohol, chloroform, diethyl ether and benzene. Slightly immiscible with water.

Notes
Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases.
