alpha,alpha,alpha-Trichlorotoluene, also known as benzotrichloride, is an aromatic compound in which a toluene methyl group is fully chlorinated to a trichloromethyl group. It has CAS number 98-07-7 and the molecular formula C6H5CCl3.
It is used as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis and manufacturing, particularly as a precursor to benzoyl chloride, benzotrifluoride, and various dye and agrochemical intermediates. It is intended for industrial and research use only.
It is a liquid aromatic compound with a molecular weight of 195.467 g/mol. The trichloromethyl group is moisture-sensitive and readily hydrolyzes, so the material reacts with water and is best handled under anhydrous conditions.
Store it tightly sealed under dry, inert conditions in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from water, moisture, and incompatible materials. It is corrosive and a lachrymator, so handle with appropriate protection and review the SDS before use.
