| | 4-Nitrobenzyl chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white to light yellow crystal powde | | Chemical Properties | Benzene, 1-(chloromethyl)-4-nitro-, is a crystalline
solid. | | Uses | 4-Nitrobenzyl chloride was used to prepare unsymmetrically N,N′-bis(substituted) 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6-ether derivatives. | | Definition | ChEBI: A C-nitro compound that is nitrobenzene in which the hydrogen at position 4 is replaced by a chloromethyl group. | | General Description | Solid. | | Air & Water Reactions | May react slowly with water. | | Reactivity Profile | Incompatible with sodium hydroxide. [EPA, 1998]. A halogenated aromatic nitro compound. Aromatic nitro compounds range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups. | | Health Hazard | Poisonous if swallowed or dust is inhaled. | | Fire Hazard | Incompatible with sodium hydroxide. | | Potential Exposure | A chloronitrobenzene compound, used
in organic synthesis. | | Shipping | UN3261 Corrosive solid, acidic, organic, n.o.s.,
Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8—Corrosive material, Technical
Name Required. UN1578 Chloronitrobenzenes, solid or liquid,
Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1—Poisonous materials. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the chloride from CCl4, dry diethyl ether, or n-heptane, and dry it under vacuum. IRRITANT.[Beilstein 5 IV 856.] | | Incompatibilities | Can react with sulfuric acid. Keep
away from oxidizers, amines, bases: sodium hydroxide, and
potassium hydroxide; may cause fire and explosions.
Incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents
such as hydrides, certain amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds,
alkali metals (potassium), and epoxides. Corrodes
steel, some plastics and human tissue. |
