1-Chloro-3-(1-methylethyl)benzene

Description:

1-Chloro-3-(1-methylethyl)benzene, also known as p-chloroisopropylbenzene, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom and an isopropyl group at the para position. Its molecular formula is C10H13Cl, indicating the presence of ten carbon atoms, thirteen hydrogen atoms, and one chlorine atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water. The presence of the chlorine atom contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 1-chloro-3-(1-methylethyl)benzene may undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the chlorine substituent. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
