CAS 90875-77-7

[2-(2-Chloroethoxy)ethyl]benzene

Description:

[2-(2-Chloroethoxy)ethyl]benzene, also known by its CAS number 90875-77-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both aromatic and aliphatic structures, including moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a distinct odor. The presence of the chloroethoxy group suggests potential reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, and may influence its solubility and interaction with biological systems. As with many chlorinated compounds, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its applications could range from use as an intermediate in organic synthesis to potential roles in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, although specific applications would depend on further research and regulatory assessments. Always consult safety data sheets and relevant literature for detailed handling and safety information.
