CAS 95-72-7

Chloro-p-xylene

Description:

Chloro-p-xylene, with the CAS number 95-72-7, is an aromatic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a chlorinated xylene derivative. It features a chlorine atom attached to the para position of the xylene molecule, which consists of two methyl groups on a benzene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. Chloro-p-xylene is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. The compound is known to exhibit moderate toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Additionally, it is important to consider its environmental impact, as chlorinated compounds can persist in the environment and may pose risks to aquatic life.
