Benzoyl chloride, 4-chloro-2-methyl-

Description:
Benzoyl chloride, 4-chloro-2-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, specifically the acyl chloride and aromatic ring. It features a benzoyl group attached to a chlorine atom at the para position relative to a methyl group on the aromatic ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity. It is known for its role as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various derivatives and intermediates. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its electrophilic character, making it useful in Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions and other nucleophilic substitution processes. Benzoyl chloride, 4-chloro-2-methyl- is also sensitive to moisture and can hydrolyze to form benzoic acid and hydrochloric acid upon contact with water. Proper handling and storage in a dry environment are essential due to its corrosive nature and potential to cause irritation to skin and respiratory pathways.
