Introduction
4-chlorobenzyl chloride. The following is information about the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety of 4-chlorobenzyl chloride:
Quality:
- 4-Chlorobenzyl chloride is a colorless to yellow liquid with a peculiar aromatic odor.
- At room temperature, 4-chlorobenzyl chloride is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and chloroform.
Use:
- 4-chlorobenzyl chloride is widely used in organic synthesis reactions and is often used as an intermediate.
- 4-Chlorobenzyl chloride is also used as an antifungal agent and wood preservative.
Method:
- 4-Chlorobenzyl chloride can be synthesized by chlorination of benzyl chloride.
- Catalyzed by a chlorinating agent (e.g., ferric chloride), chlorine gas is introduced into benzyl chloride to give a reaction of 4-chlorobenzyl chloride. The reaction process needs to be carried out at the appropriate temperature and pressure.
Safety Information:
- 4-chlorobenzyl chloride is an organic compound that needs to be handled with care.
- It is a sensitizing substance that has an irritating effect on the skin and eyes, and appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn during handling.
- During storage and use, avoid contact with strong oxidants and strong acids, and avoid fire sources and high temperatures.
- Ventilation is carried out regularly to ensure a good operating environment.
