Product Description:

1-Chloro-4-tert-butylbenzene is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₃Cl. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a tert-butyl group and a chlorine atom at the para position. This structure makes it a versatile aromatic halide. Its primary role is as a key organic synthetic building block and a halogenation reagent in chemical research and development. The tert-butyl group provides steric bulk and influences electronic properties, while the chlorine atom serves as a reactive site for various cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki, Stille, and Negishi couplings, enabling the construction of more complex molecules. It is also used in the synthesis of liquid crystals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemical intermediates. As a halogenated aromatic compound, it requires careful handling. It is typically flammable and may be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Proper personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation are essential during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
