Para chloroaniline also known as 4-chloroaniline is a pale yellow solid with a very sweet odor and is one of the numerous known chloroanilines. Para chloroaniline is not manufactured from aniline as aniline has a tendency to over chlorinate. However, para chloroaniline is produced from hydrogenation of a chemical known as 4-nitrochlorobenzene, which in turn is obtained by the nitration of chlorobenzene. Para chloroaniline is insoluble in cold water; however, it is soluble in hot water. Para chloroaniline is highly incompatible with oxidizing agents, acids, acid chlorides, chloroformates and acid anhydrides. Para chloroaniline is considered a carcinogen and hence is to be handled with extreme caution.
