Benzene, 1-chloro-3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-methyl-

Description:

Benzene, 1-chloro-3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-methyl-, also known by its CAS number 61468-39-1, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom, a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl), and a methyl group. This compound exhibits typical properties of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, including a relatively high stability due to the resonance of the benzene ring. It is generally non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the bulky tert-butyl group can influence steric hindrance and the compound's overall reactivity. This substance may be used in various chemical syntheses and applications, although specific uses can vary based on regulatory and safety considerations. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to handle it with care due to potential health and environmental impacts.
