What Is Benzyl Chloride?
Benzyl chloride (α-chlorotoluene), CAS 100-44-7, C7H7Cl, molecular weight 126.58 g/mol, is a reactive aromatic organochlorine liquid. Its chloromethyl group is used for benzylation, most importantly to make benzyl quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzalkonium chloride, and benzyl-based dye, fragrance, resin and agrochemical intermediates.
The TDS gives content of 99.50% and limits for acidity, benzal chloride, methylbenzene, chlorotoluene and other impurities. Colour, density and DMF are typical values.
It ships as UN 1738, Class 6.1 with subsidiary Class 8, packing group II. Benzyl chloride is toxic and corrosive, so use closed transfer and effective exposure controls.
As a benzyl chloride supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the colourless liquid in 200 kg plastic drums.
