Looking at its properties, under room temperature and pressure, M-chloroethylbenzene is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid, just like a clear jade liquid, shimmering. Its smell is unique and has a fragrant smell. Although fragrant, it cannot be smelled close to prevent health damage.
When it comes to the melting point, the melting point is quite low, about -43 ° C, just like cold water in winter, and it is easy to melt. The boiling point is relatively high, between 179 and 180 ° C, and it needs to be quite hot to turn it into a gas state.
In terms of density, M-chloroethylbenzene is slightly heavier than water, about 1.08g/cm ³. If it is placed in one place with water, it will sink to the bottom like a stone and settle slowly.
Solubility is also an important physical property. This substance is insoluble in water, just like the incompatibility of oil and water. When the two are mixed, they will naturally stratify. However, it has good solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene, etc., and can be mixed with it, just like water emulsion.
In terms of volatility, M-chloroethylbenzene is volatile to a certain extent and can be slowly emitted in the air, like a floral fragrance, but this "fragrance" needs to be treated with caution, because its volatile steam may be harmful to the human body.
The physical properties of M-chloroethylbenzene are of great significance in many fields such as chemical industry and scientific research. Everyone needs to be aware of it in detail in order to make good use of it and avoid its harm.
The first talk about the properties of halogenated hydrocarbons. The chlorine atom is in the interposition of the benzene ring, so that the substance has the general reaction of halogenated hydrocarbons. In case of nucleophilic reagents, chlorine atoms are easily replaced. In case of potassium hydroxide in an alcohol solution, an elimination reaction can occur to remove hydrogen chloride and obtain alkenes. This is because the carbon ortho-position connected to the chlorine atom has a hydrogen atom, which satisfies the conditions for elimination.
And on the properties of its benzene ring. The benzene ring has a conjugated system and is electron-rich, Due to the fact that both chlorine and ethyl are ortho-para-localizers, although the meta-site activity is slightly weaker, under appropriate conditions, electrophilic reagents can also attack the meta-site. In case of mixed acids (sulfuric acid and nitric acid), nitrification can occur, and nitro groups are introduced into the meta-site of the benzene ring.
Furthermore, because ethyl is attached to the benzene ring and is affected by the benzene ring, ethyl α-hydrogen is active. In case of light or high temperature, it can undergo α-hydrogen substitution reaction with halogen elementals. This is because the benzene ring conjugate system has an effect on the distribution of ethyl electron clouds, making the α-hydrocarbon bond easy to break.
Its physical properties cannot be ignored. At room temperature, it is mostly liquid, insoluble in water, and has Due to the structure of halogenated hydrocarbons, the intermolecular forces are different from hydrocarbons, and the melting boiling point is unique.
From this perspective, M-chloroethylbenzene, with its special structure, has both the chemical properties related to halogenated hydrocarbons and benzene rings, and can be used as an important raw material in organic synthesis and other fields to produce various organic compounds.
In the field of drug synthesis, M-chloroethylbenzene can be used as a starting material to participate in the construction of molecular structures with specific pharmacological activities. For example, through substitution, addition and other reactions, new pharmaceutical ingredients can be carefully designed and prepared, providing key basic materials for pharmaceutical research and development.
In the field of materials science, it also plays an indispensable role. With the help of a series of chemical reactions, M-chloroethylbenzene can be converted into a polymer material monomer with excellent performance. After polymerization, polymer materials with specific functions, such as high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronics and many other high-end fields.
In addition, in the fine chemical industry, M-chloroethylbenzene is often used to synthesize various fine chemicals, such as fragrances, dyes, surfactants, etc. These fine chemicals have important uses in daily life and industrial production. Fragrances can add a pleasant aroma to products. Dyes are used for dyeing fabrics, plastics, etc. Surfactants are widely used in detergents, cosmetics and other products. Overall, M-chloroethylbenzene plays an important role in the development of the chemical industry due to its key uses in many fields.
The second is to use styrene as a raw material. First, styrene and hydrogen chloride are added. The addition reaction follows the Markov rule. Hydrogen is added to the double-bonded carbon with more hydrogen, and chlorine is added to the double-bonded carbon with less hydrogen to obtain chloroethylbenzene. This reaction condition is relatively mild, with good selectivity and high product purity. After fractionation, M-chloroethylbenzene can be separated. However, it should be noted that factors such as the source or cost of styrene and the safety of hydrogen chloride should also be considered in the actual preparation.
First word storage. This substance should be placed in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Because of its flammability, it can cause combustion in case of open flames and hot topics, so the temperature of the warehouse should not be too high, and it should be controlled in a specific range to prevent accidents. And it should be stored separately from oxidants and edible chemicals to avoid danger caused by their interaction. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaks, in case of leakage, it can be dealt with in time.
As for transportation. The transportation vehicle must ensure that the vehicle is in good condition and equipped with corresponding fire equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. During transportation, it should be protected from exposure to the sun, rain, and high temperature. When loading and unloading, the operation must be light and light to prevent damage to packaging and containers and material leakage. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle transporting the item must be equipped with a fire retardant device, and it is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks for loading and unloading. The driving route should also be paid attention to, and it should be avoided in residential areas and densely populated places.
All these are the things that should be paid attention to when storing and transporting M-chloroethylbenzene, so as to ensure the safety of the process.
First, in the field of organic synthesis, this is a key intermediate. Through various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitution, the chlorine atom can be replaced by other functional groups, thus constructing more complex and diverse organic compounds. For example, by reacting with alkoxides, corresponding ether compounds can be formed; by reacting with amines, nitrogen-containing organic compounds can be prepared. These reaction products are widely used in the synthesis of fine chemicals such as drugs, pesticides, and fragrances.
Second, in the field of materials science, M-chloroethylbenzene can participate in the polymerization reaction to synthesize polymer materials with specific properties. By rationally designing and regulating the conditions of the polymerization reaction, polymers with different structures and properties can be obtained, such as improving the heat resistance and mechanical properties of materials, etc., thereby meeting the special needs of different engineering fields for material properties.
Third, in the pharmaceutical industry, M-chloroethylbenzene can be used as a starting material to prepare a variety of drugs through a series of chemical reactions. Due to its unique molecular structure, it can be used as an important module for the construction of active ingredients of drugs, providing rich possibilities for the development of new drugs.
Fourth, in the pesticide manufacturing industry, some compounds derived from M-chloroethylbenzene have good insecticidal, bactericidal or herbicidal activities, and can be used to develop high-efficiency and low-toxicity pesticide products, which can help agricultural production to increase yield and prevent pests and diseases.
In short, M-chloroethylbenzene plays an important role in the development process of the chemical industry and related industries due to its wide use in organic synthesis, materials science, medicine and pesticides.
First properties, under room temperature and pressure, M-chloroethylbenzene is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid. It is quite fluid when viewed, and its clear and impurity-free state can be observed.
The boiling point of M-chloroethylbenzene is between 188-192 ° C. At this temperature, M-chloroethylbenzene gradually changes from liquid to gaseous state. This property is very critical in the separation and purification operations such as distillation. It can be separated from other substances according to the difference in its boiling point.
Furthermore, its melting point is about -32 ° C. When the ambient temperature drops below this point, M-chloroethylbenzene will solidify from liquid to solid. This temperature limit is also an important characterization of its physical properties.
As for the density, it is about 1.07 g/cm ³, which is slightly heavier than water. If M-chloroethylbenzene is mixed with water, it will sink to the bottom of the water. This density characteristic is of great significance in practical application scenarios such as liquid-liquid separation.
The solubility of M-chloroethylbenzene also has characteristics. It is insoluble in water, but it can be well miscible with many organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene, etc. This solubility makes it possible to choose a suitable organic solvent to dissolve M-chloroethylbenzene in organic synthesis and other fields, and then carry out various chemical reactions.
In addition, M-chloroethylbenzene is volatile and can slowly evaporate into the air in an open environment. Its vapor is heavier than air and can diffuse along the ground. This characteristic needs to be paid attention to during storage and use to avoid potential safety hazards caused by vapor accumulation.
First, the benzene ring has a conjugate system, which makes the compound stable. However, the presence of its side chain and chlorine atom confers other reactivity.
For electrophilic substitution, the electron cloud density of the benzene ring changes due to the electron-absorbing induction effect of chlorine and the conjugation effect of the electron conductor. The electron cloud density of the adjacent and para-site of chlorine is relatively high, so the electrophilic reagents tend to attack these two positions.
The hydrogen atom on the ethyl group of the side chain can be replaced under specific conditions. For example, under light or high temperature, chlorine radicals can grab hydrogen on the ethyl group and initiate radical substitution reactions.
Furthermore, its chlorine atoms can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. In case of nucleophilic reagents, such as hydroxide ions, sodium alcohols, etc., chlorine atoms can be replaced to form corresponding alcohols or ether compounds.
In addition, M-chloroethylbenzene can be partially hydrogenated to form hydrogenation products under reduced conditions. In oxidation conditions, side chain ethyl groups may be oxidized to obtain products in different oxidation states.
All these are important chemical properties of M-chloroethylbenzene, which are widely used in organic synthesis and chemical industry.
First, benzene and ethyl chloride are used as raw materials and can be prepared by Fu-gram alkylation reaction. In the reaction system, Lewis acid such as anhydrous aluminum trichloride is added as a catalyst. The mechanism of this reaction is that ethyl chloride is acted by a catalyst to generate carbon positive ions, and then the carbon positive ions attack the benzene ring, and an electrophilic substitution reaction occurs to obtain ethylbenzene. However, this reaction will have three position isomers, o, m, and p. To obtain meta-products, the reaction conditions need to be controlled or purified by subsequent separation means.
Second, ethylbenzene can be prepared from benzene first, and then prepared by chlorination reaction. Ethylbenzene reacts with chlorine in the presence of light or free radical initiator, and the hydrogen atom on the ethyl group can be replaced by chlorine atoms. However, the selectivity of this reaction is not good. In addition to generating the target product M-chloroethylbenzene, there will also be other position-substituted products, such as α-chloroethylbenzene. In order to improve the yield of M-chloroethylbenzene, the reaction conditions can be optimized, such as adjusting the ratio of reactants, controlling the reaction temperature and time, etc.
Third, M-chloroethylbenzene can be prepared by hydroreduction reaction with isochlorophenylvinyl as raw material. Commonly used hydrogenation catalysts include palladium carbon, Raney nickel, etc. This method is relatively direct and the product purity is high. However, the acquisition of chlorostyrene raw materials may require other steps to synthesize, and the cost may be affected.
The above methods have advantages and disadvantages. In the actual synthesis, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the availability of raw materials, cost, product purity requirements and other factors to choose the appropriate method.
When transporting, it is necessary to abide by the relevant regulations on the transportation of dangerous chemicals. The transportation vehicle should be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. It is best to transport in the morning and evening in summer. The tank (tank) car used during transportation should have a grounding chain, and holes can be set in the tank to reduce shock and generate static electricity. It is strictly forbidden to mix and transport with oxidants, acids, alkalis, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, it should be protected from exposure to the sun, rain, and high temperature. During stopovers, it should be kept away from fires, heat sources, and high temperature areas. Vehicle exhaust pipes must have fire retardant devices. It is forbidden to use spark-prone machinery and tools for loading and unloading. Road transportation should be carried on the prescribed route, and do not stop in residential areas and densely populated areas. It is forbidden to slip during railway transportation.
In this way, it is necessary to ensure the safety of M-chloroethylbenzene during storage and transportation, and avoid disasters.
