2-Chlorobenzonitrile corresponds to CAS 873-32-5, molecular formula C7H4ClN, and PubChem CID 13391. The molecular weight recorded by PubChem is 137.56. SMILES C1=CC=C(C(=C1)C#N)Cl and InChIKey NHWQMJMIYICNBP-UHFFFAOYSA-N match the stored structural fields, linking the page to one defined chlorobenzonitrile identity.

The molecular graph is a benzene ring bearing a chlorine atom and a nitrile group. The C#N segment is the nitrile carbon-nitrogen triple bond. The name assigns chlorine to position 2 relative to that nitrile-bearing carbon, which is the ortho arrangement. Position matters here: other chlorobenzonitrile isomers can have the same formula and molecular weight while retaining different substituent locations. The InChIKey is therefore paired with the CAS and SMILES rather than treating formula C7H4ClN as sufficient on its own.

When contacting Rlavie about this record, include the exact name 2-Chlorobenzonitrile, CAS 873-32-5, and the requested quantity. A MOL or SDF attachment is useful where structure matching forms part of the inquiry. PubChem CID 13391, the displayed SMILES, and InChIKey NHWQMJMIYICNBP-UHFFFAOYSA-N give three cross-references for checking the requested structure before request-specific information is considered. State the 2-chloro position explicitly so the inquiry is not matched to a meta or para chlorobenzonitrile record. The nitrile group should remain visible in the drawing supplied.
