2-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-1-methylbenzene

Description:
2-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-1-methylbenzene, also known as benzyl chloride derivative, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a chloromethyl group and a chlorine substituent on a methyl-substituted benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a methyl group and two chlorine atoms, one attached to the benzene and the other to a carbon adjacent to the ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The presence of chlorine atoms contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, it is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation.
