Benzoyl chloride,2,5-dimethyl-

Description:

Benzoyl chloride, 2,5-dimethyl- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a benzoyl group and two methyl substituents on the aromatic ring. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, typical of acyl chlorides. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a potent electrophile. It readily reacts with nucleophiles, including alcohols and amines, to form esters and amides, respectively. The presence of the two methyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions on the benzene ring can influence its reactivity and steric properties, potentially affecting the rate of reactions and the stability of intermediates. Benzoyl chloride derivatives are often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin and respiratory system. Proper safety precautions should be taken when working with this chemical.

2,5-Dimethylbenzoyl chloride

CAS: 22328-43-4

2,5-Dimethylbenzoyl chloride is an oxadiazole that was studied for pharmacological applications. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the vasopressin receptor and is therefore a potential lead compound for the development of drugs to treat diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. The chloro group in 2,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride can be modified by substituting it with another group, such as hydrogen or chlorine. This substitution changes the properties of the molecule, which can be beneficial for certain applications. For example, 2-methylbenzoyl chloride is more soluble in water than 2,5-dimethylbenzoyl chloride.
2,5-Dimethylbenzoyl chloride was also synthesized using phosphorus pentachloride and ethyl group as starting materials. The x-ray data showed that the molecule has a planar structure with four chiral centers (C1, C2, C3 and
