CAS 100-44-7

Benzyl Chloride

Description:

Benzyl chloride, with the CAS number 100-44-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a benzene ring attached to a chloromethyl group. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. Benzyl chloride is moderately soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and ether. It has a relatively low boiling point and is volatile. This compound is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and dyes. It is also utilized in the production of benzyl alcohol and other derivatives. However, benzyl chloride is classified as a hazardous substance; it is corrosive and can cause skin and eye irritation. Additionally, it is a potential carcinogen and poses environmental risks, necessitating careful handling and storage. Due to its reactivity, it readily participates in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis.
