3-Chlorotoluene

Description:

3-Chlorotoluene, also known as meta-chlorotoluene, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a toluene structure with a chlorine atom substituted at the meta position relative to the methyl group. Its molecular formula is C7H7Cl, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 142.58 g/mol. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 3-Chlorotoluene is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. It can undergo typical aromatic substitution reactions, making it a versatile building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, it is important to handle 3-chlorotoluene with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
