Description
About 2,5-Dimethylphenylacetyl chloride CAS 55312-97-5
2,5-Dimethylphenylacetyl Chloride (CAS 55312-97-5): A Specialized Spirotetramat intermediate.
Introduction
2,5-Dimethylphenylacetyl chloride (molecular formula C₁₀H₁₁ClO, molar mass 182.65 g/mol) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. As a substituted phenylacetyl chloride, its structure contains two methyl groups at the 2- and 5-positions of the benzene ring, reactivity for advanced organic synthesis.
Product Chemical Properties
Appearance: Clear liquid with a sharp, acrid smell.
Melting Point: -25°C (estimated)
Boiling Point: 245–247°C (at 760 mmHg)
Solubility: Insoluble in water; miscible with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and chloroform.
Stability: Hydrolyzes rapidly in water/ethanol, releasing HCl gas. Reacts violently with bases and nucleophiles.
Synthesis Methods
Phosgenation of 2,5-Dimethylphenylacetic Acid:
React 2,5-dimethylphenylacetic acid with phosgene (COCl₂) under reflux:
C₆H₃(CH₃)₂CH₂COOH + COCl₂ → C₆H₃(CH₃)₂CH₂COCl + CO₂ + HCl
Thionyl Chloride Method:
Treat the acid with thionyl chloride (SOCl₂) in pyridine:
C₆H₃(CH₃)₂CH₂COOH + SOCl₂ → C₆H₃(CH₃)₂CH₂COCl + SO₂ + HCl
Purification involves vacuum distillation to remove byproducts.
