3,4-Methylenedioxy-6-methylbenzyl chloride

Description:

3,4-Methylenedioxy-6-methylbenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 117661-72-0, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure that includes a methylenedioxy group and a methyl substituent on a benzyl chloride framework. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its aromatic properties due to the presence of the benzene ring. The methylenedioxy group enhances its reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the chlorine atom in the benzyl position contributes to its electrophilic nature, allowing it to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the compound may exhibit moderate to low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and respiratory system. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate environmental impact.
