clc 5 h 4 chcl 2 + h 2 o → clc 5 h 4 cho + 2 hcl It can also be produced by the oxidation of 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It can be further oxidized to 4-chlorobenzoic acid . [ 5 ]
Indicative of its high reactivity (relative to alkyl chlorides), benzyl chloride slowly reacts with water in a hydrolysis reaction to form benzyl alcohol and hydrochloric acid. In contact with mucous membranes, hydrolysis produces hydrochloric acid. Thus, benzyl chloride is a lachrymator and has been used in chemical warfare. It is also very ...
Benzyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor. It is useful as a solvent for its polarity, low toxicity, and low vapor pressure. Benzyl alcohol has moderate solubility in water (4 g/100 mL) and is miscible in alcohols and diethyl ether.
4-Chlorobenzoic acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula ClC 6 H 4 CO 2 H. It is a white solid that is soluble in some organic solvents and in aqueous base. 4-Chlorobenzoic acid is prepared by oxidation of 4-chlorotoluene .
This Wikipedia page provides a comprehensive list of boiling and freezing points for various solvents.
Benzyl cyanide is used as a solvent [14] and as a starting material in the synthesis of fungicides (e.g. Fenapanil), [15] fragrances (phenethyl alcohol), antibiotics, [2] and other pharmaceuticals. The partial hydrolysis of BnCN results in 2-phenylacetamide .
Benzyl chloroformate is commonly used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the benzyloxycarbonyl (formerly called carboxybenzyl) protecting group for amines.The protecting group is abbreviated Cbz or Z (in honor of discoverer Zervas), hence the alternative shorthand designation for benzyl chloroformate as Cbz-Cl or Z-Cl.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
