CAS 1585-16-6

2,4,6-Trimethylbenzyl chloride

Description:

2,4,6-Trimethylbenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 1585-16-6, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with three methyl groups at the 2, 4, and 6 positions, along with a benzyl chloride functional group. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits a characteristic aromatic odor. The presence of the benzyl chloride moiety makes it reactive, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the chlorine atom can be replaced by various nucleophiles. Due to its structure, it can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions as well. 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzyl chloride is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and proper ventilation is recommended to avoid inhalation of vapors.
