APPLICATIONS

Benzyl Chloride, chlorinated toluene, is a clear to yellowish liquid; melts at -39 C; boils at 179 C. It reacts vigorously with strong oxidants and water to produce hydrogen chloride. Its oxidation reaction produce benzaldehyde. It attacks many metals except nickel and lead in the presence of water. Benzyl Chloride is widely used as an intermediate for manufacturing organic compounds including benzyl alcohol, benzyl cyanide and other benzyl compounds used in the end applications of perfumery, dyes, pharmaceuticals, synthetic resins, photographic chemicals, warfare chemicals, penicillins, quaternary ammonium compounds, plasticizer and esters. It is used in fuel as a gum inhibitor.
