2-(2-Chloro-2-propen-1-yl)-1,4-dimethylbenzene

Description:

2-(2-Chloro-2-propen-1-yl)-1,4-dimethylbenzene, also known by its CAS number 951891-78-4, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups and a propenyl group containing a chlorine atom. This compound features a vinyl chloride moiety, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its electrophilic character, making it a useful intermediate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and polymerizations. The dimethyl substitution on the benzene ring can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility, while also affecting its reactivity. Generally, compounds of this nature may exhibit moderate to high volatility and may require careful handling due to potential toxicity associated with chlorinated compounds. As with many organic chemicals, safety precautions should be observed when working with this substance, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and adherence to regulatory guidelines.
