CAS 98-87-3

Benzal chloride

Description:

Benzal chloride, with the CAS number 98-87-3, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring attached to a carbonyl group and a chlorine atom. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, and it is known for its reactivity, particularly as an alkylating agent. Benzal chloride is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. The compound is also utilized in the manufacture of other chemicals through chlorination reactions. Due to its potential hazards, including irritant properties and toxicity, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it. Benzal chloride can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of benzoic acid and hydrochloric acid. Overall, its chemical properties make it a valuable intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry.

Benzal Chloride is a chlorinating agent that exhibits reactive properties. It is used in wastewater treatment to disinfect and oxidize organic matter, as well as to remove hydrogen sulfide and other volatile organics. Benzal Chloride is also used for the preparation of benzalkonium chloride, which has been shown to have antimicrobial properties. The pharmacokinetic properties of benzal chloride are similar to those of chloride, but it has not been studied extensively in humans.
