Benzenemethanol, 4-chloro-, 1-acetate

Description:
Benzenemethanol, 4-chloro-, 1-acetate, also known as 4-chlorobenzyl acetate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and functional groups. It features a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the para position relative to a benzylic alcohol group, which is further esterified with acetic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, making it of interest in fragrance applications. Its molecular structure contributes to its moderate polarity, influencing its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, 4-chlorobenzyl acetate may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in various chemical and pharmaceutical contexts. Safety data indicates that, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact. Overall, this compound serves as a valuable building block in synthetic organic chemistry and industrial applications.
