CAS 824-55-5

2,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride

Description:

2,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride, with the CAS number 824-55-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 4 positions and a chloromethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the chlorine atom makes it a reactive species, capable of participating in nucleophilic substitution reactions. 2,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
