Benzyl Chloride CAS 100-44-7 Purity >99.0% (GC) Factory

Benzyl Chloride (CAS: 100-44-7) has a strong, unpleasant, irritating odor. The Odor Threshold is 0.05 ppm. Benzyl Chloride is an organochlorine compound, which is widely used in organic synthesis for the preparation of useful chemical building blocks.
Uses Benzyl Chloride is used in the manufacture of benzyl Compounds, dyes, artificial resins, tanning agents, phar maceuticals, plasticizers, synthetic tannins, perfumes, lubricants, and quaternary ammonium compounds. It is also an intermediate in the preparation of phenylacetic acid (precursor to phamaceuticals).
Benzyl Chloride is widely used in industry. It is mainly used in the fields of pesticides, medicines, fragrances, dye additives, and synthetic additives. It is used to develop and produce benzaldehyde, butyl benzyl phthalate, aniline, phoxim, Benzylpenicillin, benzyl alcohol, phenylacetonitrile, phenylacetic acid and other products. Benzyl Chloride is a kind of benzyl halide irritating compound. In pesticides, it can not only directly synthesize organophosphorus fungicides rice blast net and different rice blast net, but also can be used as an important raw material for many other intermediates, such as synthesis of phenylacetonitrile, Benzoyl chloride, m-phenoxybenzaldehyde, etc. In addition, Benzyl Chloride is widely used in medicine, spices, dye additives, synthetic resins, etc. Then the waste liquid or waste produced by the enterprise in the production process inevitably contains a large amount of Benzyl Chloride intermediate.
Definition ChEBI: Benzyl Chloride is a member of the class of benzyl chlorides that is toluene substituted on the alpha-carbon with chlorine.
Hazard Highly toxic, intense eye and skin irritant. A lachrymator. Upper respiratory tract irritant. Prob- able carcinogen.
Health Hazard Benzyl Chloride is a corrosive liquid. Con tact with the eyes can cause corneal injury.Exposure to its vapors can produce intenseirritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Highconcentrations may cause lung edema anddepression of the central nervous system.Flury and Zernik (1931) stated that exposureto 16 ppm for 1 minute was intolerable tohumans. The LC50 values for a 2-hour expo sure in mice and rats are 80 and 150 ppm,respectively. The subcutaneous LD50 valuein rats is 1000 mg/kg (NIOSH 1986). Benzyl chloride tested positive to thehistidine reversion–Ames test for mutagenic ity. Subcutaneous administration of this com pound in laboratory animals caused tumors atthe site of application.
Fire Hazard Benzyl Chloride burns but does not ignite readily. Benzyl chloride may ignite combustibles. When heated to decomposition, Benzyl chloride emits toxic and corrosive fumes. Some organic chlorides decompose to yield phosgene. Incompatible with active metals such as copper, aluminum, magnesium, iron, zinc, and tin and keep from strong oxidizing agents. Avoid contact with acids or acid fumes. Keep separate from oxidizing materials. May become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures; may react with water resulting in some nonviolent release of energy. Polymerizes with evolution of heat and hydrogen chloride when in contact with all common metals except nickel and lead.
Potential Exposure Used as an intermediate and as an irritant gas in chemical warfare. In contrast to phenyl halides, benzyl halides are very reactive. Benzyl chloride is used in production of benzal chloride, benzyl alcohol, and benzaldehyde. Industrial usage includes the manufacture of benzyl compounds, cosmetics, dyes, plastics, synthetic tannins, perfumes and resins. It is used in the manufacture of many pharmaceuticals. Suggested uses of Benzyl Chloride include: the vulcanization of fluororubbers and the benzylation of phenol and its derivatives for the production of possible disinfectants.
