4-Chlorotoluene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

4-Chlorotoluene is used in a variety of organic synthesis, such as acting as coupling precursors for palladium-catalyzed acylation of acetanilides.

Uses

Solvent; dyestuff intermediate; in organic syntheses.

Hazard

Avoid inhalation; strong irritant.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mdly toxic by inhalation. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also TOLYL CHLORIDE and CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, AROMATIC.

Purification Methods

Dry it with BaO, fractionally distil it, then fractionally crystallise it by partial freezing. [Beilstein 5 IV 806.]
