2,6-Dimethylbenzyl chloride

Description:

2,6-Dimethylbenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 5402-60-8, is an organic compound belonging to the class of alkyl halides. It features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions, and a benzyl chloride functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl chloride is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
