4-Methyl Phenoxy Acetyl Chloride

Description:
4-Methyl Phenoxy Acetyl Chloride, with the CAS number 15516-47-9, is an organic compound characterized by its acetyl chloride functional group attached to a 4-methyl phenoxy moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity, particularly as an acylating agent. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is generally insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the acetyl chloride group makes it susceptible to hydrolysis, especially in the presence of moisture, leading to the formation of acetic acid and the corresponding phenol. 4-Methyl Phenoxy Acetyl Chloride is utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. As with many chlorides, it should be handled with care due to its potential to cause irritation and its reactivity with nucleophiles. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound.
