CAS 121579-86-0: Tert-butyl 4-(Chloromethyl)benzoate

Description: Tert-butyl 4-(chloromethyl)benzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid and tert-butyl alcohol. It features a chloromethyl group attached to the para position of the benzene ring, enhancing its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of the tert-butyl group contributes to its steric bulk, influencing its solubility and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ethyl acetate but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. Tert-butyl 4-(chloromethyl)benzoate can be utilized in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
