Monochlorotoluene
Manufacturing
Monochlorotoluene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor, consisting of a toluene molecule substituted with a single chlorine atom. It exists in three isomeric forms: ortho, meta, and para-each differing in the position of the chlorine atom on the benzene ring. This compound is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of dyes, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, monochlorotoluene finds application in the manufacture of resins, rubber chemicals, and as a solvent in some industrial processes.
