Cas no 1585-15-5 (4,6-bis(chloromethyl)-m-xylene)

4,6-Bis(chloromethyl)-m-xylene is a chlorinated aromatic compound primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its key structural features include two reactive chloromethyl groups attached to a meta-xylene backbone, enabling its utility in crosslinking reactions and polymer modifications. The compound is valued for its ability to introduce functional groups or serve as a building block in the production of specialty chemicals, resins, and agrochemicals. Its high reactivity under controlled conditions makes it suitable for precise synthetic applications. Proper handling is essential due to its potential lachrymatory effects and sensitivity to moisture. Storage recommendations typically include cool, dry conditions in tightly sealed containers to maintain stability.
