CAS 21048-16-8: 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,4-dioxane

Description: 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,4-dioxane is an organic compound characterized by its dioxane ring structure, which contains two oxygen atoms in a six-membered ring. The presence of a chloromethyl group (-CH2Cl) at the 2-position of the dioxane ring enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions. However, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of other products. Due to the presence of chlorine, it may also participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and respiratory system. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to mitigate any hazards associated with its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
