4-Methylbenzyl chloride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to light yellow liquid

Uses

α-Chloro-p-methyltoluene-13C is the labeled analogue of α-Chloro-p-methyltoluene(C369770). α-Chloro-p-methyltoluene is a building block that has been used as a reactant for the preparation of 6-aminoquinolone derivatives as submicromolar hepatitis C virus NS5B inhibitors

Purification Methods

Dry the chloride with CaSO4 and fractionally distil it under vacuum. [Beilstein 5 H 384, 5 III 854, 5 IV 966.]
