4,7-Dichlorobenzothiophene is a halogenated heterocyclic compound widely used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical and material science applications. This compound features a melting point of 81-83°C (lit.) and boiling point of 294.8±20.0°C (predicted). With a density of 1.483±0.06 g/cm³, it serves as a crucial building block for organic electronic materials and bioactive molecules. The material should be stored sealed under inert gas (nitrogen/argon) at 2-8°C, protected from light and moisture. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves/eyewear due to potential skin/eye irritation (GHS Category 2). Its molecular structure enables diverse transformations in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
