4-Methoxy-3-methylbenzyl chloride

Description:
4-Methoxy-3-methylbenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 60736-71-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a benzyl chloride functional group, where a chlorine atom is substituted for a hydrogen atom on the benzyl carbon. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the methoxy and methyl substituents influences its reactivity and solubility, making it more polar compared to unsubstituted benzyl chloride. This compound is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It may exhibit moderate toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it, including the use of personal protective equipment. Its chemical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and purity.
