4-Methylbenzyl chloride

Description:

4-Methylbenzyl chloride, also known as p-tolyl chloride, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and a chlorine atom. Its molecular formula is C8H9Cl, and it features a chlorine atom attached to the para position of the methyl-substituted benzene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol. 4-Methylbenzyl chloride is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. It can undergo various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and reduction, making it a versatile building block in synthetic chemistry. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and it is classified as a hazardous substance. Proper safety precautions should be taken when working with this chemical.
