1-(tert-butyl)-3,5-dichlorobenzene; CAS No.: 1369899-62-6;1-(tert-butyl)-3,5-dichlorobenzene. PROPERTIES: 1-(tert-butyl)-3,5-dichlorobenzene is a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon with molecular formula C10H12Cl2. It generally exists as a colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor, having a boiling point of approximately 185-190 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like hexane or toluene. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong bases. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 25 C, away from heat sources and incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this compound serves as a building block for creating sterically hindered aromatic systems. The tert-butyl group provides steric protection, while the dichloro substituents enable further functionalization through nucleophilic aromatic substitution or cross-coupling reactions (The Journal of Organic Chemistry). In materials science, the compound contributes to the development of organic semiconductors with improved charge transport properties, where the electron-withdrawing chlorine atoms modulate electronic characteristics (Journal of Materials Chemistry C). Its structure makes it suitable for creating self-assembled monolayers on surfaces, useful in nanotechnology applications (Langmuir).
