2-Chloro-4-methoxy-1-methylbenzene

Description:
2-Chloro-4-methoxy-1-methylbenzene, also known as o-chloro-p-methoxytoluene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom, a methoxy group, and a methyl group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C9H10ClO, indicating it contains nine carbon atoms, ten hydrogen atoms, one chlorine atom, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the methoxy group can influence the compound's electronic properties, affecting its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
