| 2-Methylbenzyl chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless to light yellow liqui |
| General Description | A colorless to pale-yellow colored liquid with a pungent odor. Insoluble in water. Slightly denser than water. Flash point 165°F. Contact may irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Because of its insolubility 2-Methylbenzyl chloride doesn't react vigorously with water, although 2-Methylbenzyl chloride does generate annoying levels of hydrogen chloride fumes. |
| Reactivity Profile | 2-Methylbenzyl chloride is rapidly decomposed when heated in the presence of iron. |
| Health Hazard | Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. |
| Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified |
