2-[(4-Methylphenyl)methoxy]benzoyl chloride

Description:

2-[(4-Methylphenyl)methoxy]benzoyl chloride, with the CAS number 926025-99-2, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, including a benzoyl chloride moiety and a methoxy group attached to a para-methylphenyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of esters and amides. The methoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents, while the para-methylphenyl group can influence its electronic properties and steric hindrance. As with many acyl chlorides, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and may react vigorously with water, releasing hydrochloric acid. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when working with this substance.
