:1-(Chloromethyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)benzene
Description:
1-(Chloromethyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)benzene, also known as a chloromethyl derivative of a substituted toluene, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chloromethyl group and a tert-butyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits properties common to aromatic hydrocarbons, such as stability and relatively low reactivity under standard conditions. The chloromethyl group introduces a site for potential nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in various synthetic applications. The tert-butyl group contributes to steric hindrance, which can influence the compound's reactivity and interactions with other molecules. In terms of physical properties, it is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. Its solubility in organic solvents is expected to be high, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring and the bulky tert-butyl group. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks associated with chlorinated organic compounds.
