Description

4-Chlorophenethyl alcohol is a synthetic, primary alcohol. It can be synthesized by reacting 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid with a Grignard reagent. The reaction produces 4-chlorophenethyl alcohol, which is insoluble in water and reacts with chloride to form chloroform. This procedure can be used to produce other chlorinated alcohols. 4-Chlorophenethyl alcohol has been shown to have acute toxicities that are similar to those of trifluoroacetic acid and it is believed that the toxicity is due to its ability to react with proteins and nucleic acids.
