1-Chloro-2-(dichloromethyl)benzene

Description:
1-Chloro-2-(dichloromethyl)benzene, also known as benzyl chloride or by its CAS number 88-66-4, is an aromatic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a chloro group and a dichloromethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of chlorine atoms in its structure contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other chlorinated compounds. Due to its chemical properties, it can undergo various reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic aromatic substitution. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be toxic and poses environmental hazards. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with or disposing of this chemical to mitigate any potential risks.
