Benzyl Chloride Applications
1. Benzyl Chloride is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of organic compounds and also as a colloid inhibitor for fuels.
2. It undergoes oxidation reaction with alkali to form benzaldehyde. α-Chlorotol is ultimately used in applications such as fragrances, dyes, pharmaceuticals, synthetic resins, photographic chemicals, military chemicals, penicillin, quaternary ammonium compounds, plasticizers, and esters.
