Ethylbenzyl chloride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid.Soluble in alcohols; insoluble in water.

Uses

4-Ethylbenzyl Chloride (CAS# 1467-05-6) can be used for oxidative degeneration of fragrant aldehydes in antiperspirant matrix leading to autoxidation and chlorinated products. It can also be used for extreme pressure additives toward lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids.

Uses

Intermediate.

Definition

Consists of 70% pand 30% o-ethylbenzyl chloride.

General Description

A colorless to pale-colored liquid with a pungent odor. Insoluble in water and slightly denser than water. May irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Ethylbenzyl chloride is moderately reactive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.

Hazard

Irritant to eyes, a lachrymator.

Health Hazard

Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Combustible Material. (NOAA, 2008)
