3,4-Dimethylbenzoyl chloride

Description:
3,4-Dimethylbenzoyl chloride, with the CAS number 21900-23-2, is an aromatic acyl chloride characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions, along with a carbonyl chloride functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong, pungent odor. It is highly reactive, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 3,4-Dimethylbenzoyl chloride is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is not soluble in water. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and may cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
