2-Methoxybenzyl chloride

Description:

2-Methoxybenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 7035-02-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a benzyl chloride moiety. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the chlorine atom can be replaced by various nucleophiles. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 2-Methoxybenzyl chloride is often utilized in organic synthesis, serving as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it may be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture, is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.

2-Methoxy benzyl chloride

CAS: 7035-02-1

2-Methoxy benzyl chloride is an organometallic compound that has potent antagonist activity against a wide variety of organometallic and non-organometallic compounds. It is used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as myocardial infarct, and also displays antimicrobial properties. 2-Methoxy benzyl chloride is a potent competitive inhibitor of many enzymes, including xanthine oxidase, hydroxylase, and tyrosinase. This molecule also has the ability to bind to cationic polymers and inhibit polymerization reactions by interfering with the formation of hydrogen bonds between monomers. The chlorine atom in this molecule can be replaced by a hydrogen atom for use as an antimicrobial agent. 2-Methoxy benzyl chloride binds to nitrogen atoms on amides and other nitrogen containing compounds, which may account for its antiinflammatory effects.
