Descripción

General description

Benzyl chloride (BnCl) is an organochlorine compound, which is widely used in organic synthesis for the preparation of useful chemical building blocks.

Application

Benzyl chloride can be used as:

• A benzylating agent for the benzylation of benzene and other aromatic compounds.
• A reactant for the preparation of 4-methoxydiphenylmethane by Friedel-Crafts alkylation with anisole.

It can also be used to introduce the benzyl protecting group to alcohols and carboxylic acids by forming corresponding benzyl ether, and benzyl ester, respectively.
