CAS 100-14-1 — 4-Nitrobenzyl chloride

4-Nitrobenzyl chloride is an aromatic organochlorine compound widely used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical production, and dye manufacturing due to its reactive benzyl chloride group and nitro substituent. It appears as a pale yellow to tan crystalline solid or liquid with a pungent odor, highly soluble in organic solvents but poorly soluble in water. This chemical has a CAS number of 100-14-1, a molecular formula of O2NC6H4CH2Cl, and a molecular weight of 171.58 g/mol. It must be stored at ambient temperatures in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances. The product is classified with the signal word "Danger" due to its acute toxicity and corrosive properties. Molekula supplies 4-Nitrobenzyl chloride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
