1,4-Bis(chloromethyl)cyclohexane

Description:

1,4-Bis(chloromethyl)cyclohexane, with the CAS number 824-93-1, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexane ring substituted with two chloromethyl groups at the 1 and 4 positions. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of chloromethyl groups, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and polymerization processes. The compound is relatively stable under standard conditions but should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity and the reactivity of the chloromethyl groups. It is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions are essential when working with this substance, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to minimize exposure and ensure safety in laboratory environments.
