Benzyl Chloride

Benzyl Chloride, also known as (Chloromethyl)benzene or α-Chlorotoluene, is a vital organic synthetic intermediate and chemical with the formula C₆H₅CH₂Cl. It is a colorless to slightly yellow transparent liquid with a strong, pungent, and lachrymatory (tear-inducing) odor. Its chemical property is highly reactive; the chlorine atom attached to the benzylic carbon makes it susceptible to nucleophilic substitution reactions, leading to its widespread use in derivatization synthesis. Due to its high reactivity and toxicity, it requires strict safety management during storage, transportation, and handling.
