2-Chloro-1,4-dipropoxybenzene

Description:

2-Chloro-1,4-dipropoxybenzene, identified by its CAS number 916791-98-5, is an organic compound belonging to the class of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. It features a benzene ring substituted with two propoxy groups (-O-CH2-CH2-CH3) at the 1 and 4 positions and a chlorine atom at the 2 position. This compound is typically characterized by its moderate polarity due to the presence of the ether functional groups, which can influence its solubility in various solvents. The chlorinated structure may impart certain chemical stability and reactivity, particularly in electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the presence of the propoxy groups can enhance its hydrophobic properties, affecting its behavior in biological and environmental contexts. 2-Chloro-1,4-dipropoxybenzene may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the development of specialty chemicals. Safety and handling precautions should be observed due to the potential toxicity associated with chlorinated compounds.
