4-Chloro-o-xylene

CAS: 615-60-1

4-Chloro-o-xylene is a xylene that is used as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. It has an evaporation rate of 2.3 times that of pentane, making it useful for drying purposes. 4-Chloro-o-xylene also reacts with thianthrene to form chlorinated xylenes, which are used in the production of plastics and synthetic rubber. It can react with chloride to form chlorinated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane and chloroform, or with chlorine to produce polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The reaction of 4-chloro-o-xylene and ammonium nitrate will produce nitrobenzene, which is used in the production of TNT explosives. Finally, 4-chloro-2,5-dimethoxyaniline can be synthesised from this chemical by reacting it with magnesium metal and nitrobenzene
