Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4-Dimethylbenzyl chloride is a nucleophilic compound that can react with alkyl halides to form 2,4-dimethylbenzyl alcohol and alkyl chloride. It reacts with chlorine to produce chloromethyl benzene. When the reaction is performed in aqueous solution, the product is primarily the chloromethyl benzene. The product of this reaction may also be prepared through the use of ammonium formate and chlorine gas. This chemical has been used as an analytical reagent for determining the presence of halogenated hydrocarbons in petroleum products. Reaction with zirconium ions leads to formation of 2,4-dimethylbenzyl zirconium trichloride. This chemical also has an interaction with dehydration byproduct.
