Description

3-Nitrobenzylchloride is a chemical compound that has an x-ray crystal structure. This molecule was synthesized by reacting 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol with thionyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydroxide and water. The reaction product was then purified by recrystallization from hexane to obtain the desired compound, which had an analytical purity of 98%. 3-Nitrobenzylchloride is a model system for studying nucleophilic attack, intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and halogen compounds. It can also be used to study radical coupling reactions of nitroalkanes, halides, and amines. 3-Nitrobenzylchloride can be used in analytical chemistry as a reagent for quality control tests on naphthalene and amines.
