7-bromo-1-chloronaphthalene is a chlorination agent that can be used as an oxidant. It is synthesized by the chlorination of phosphorus with carbon tetrachloride and a reagent. The reaction produces hydrogen chloride, which reacts with chlorine to produce 7-bromo-1-chloronaphthalene. This synthesis method is useful for large-scale production because it does not require high temperatures or pressures, unlike other methods of producing chlorinated aromatic compounds.
