3,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride

Description:

3,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 102-46-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions, along with a benzyl chloride functional group. This compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. 3,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits reactivity typical of alkyl halides, making it useful in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety considerations include its potential to cause skin and eye irritation, and it should be handled with appropriate precautions in a well-ventilated area. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to consider its environmental impact and potential regulations regarding its use and disposal.

3,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride

CAS: 102-46-5

3,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride is a synthetic compound that belongs to the group of chlorinated aromatic compounds. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. 3,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride has been shown to inhibit the oxidation of human blood platelets at low concentrations and to inhibit calcium uptake and chlorine release by these cells. This may be due to its ability to bind with and inhibit the activity of protein kinase C and phospholipase A2 enzymes.
