P-CHLOROTOLUENE

p-Chlorotoluene is a clear, colourless to pale yellow, combustible aromatic liquid with chemical formula C₇H₇Cl, molecular weight 126.58 g/mol, CAS number 106-43-4, EC number 203-397-0, melting point 6–8°C, boiling point 162°C, density 1.07 g/mL at 25°C, refractive index n20/D 1.52, flash point 121°F (49°C), aromatic odour, vapour density 4.38 (vs air), vapour pressure 10 mmHg at 45°C, and explosive limits 0.7–12.2% (V/V); it is the para-isomer of monochlorotoluene (1-chloro-4-methylbenzene), practically insoluble in water (0.040 g/L at 20°C) but fully miscible with ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, and chloroform.
p-Chlorotoluene is one of the most commercially important single-ring aryl chloride intermediates, with the more valuable para-isomer separated from the ortho-isomer by distillation or falling-film freeze crystallisation (purity >99%); it is used as the key starting material for the synthesis of p-chlorobenzotrichloride and p-chlorobenzotrifluoride (herbicide trifluralin precursor), p-chlorobenzaldehyde, p-chlorobenzoyl chloride, p-chlorobenzoic acid, p-chlorobenzyl chloride, 4-chlorobenzonitrile, and 2,4- and 3,4-dichlorotoluenes used in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and specialty chemicals.
p-Chlorotoluene is classified under GHS as a flammable liquid (H226) and is harmful if swallowed (H302), harmful if inhaled (H332), may cause an allergic skin reaction (H317), and is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H411); UN number UN 2238; Hazard Class 3; Packing Group III; WGK Germany 2; RTECS XS9010000; NFPA 704: Health 2 / Fire 2 / Reactivity 0.

p-Chlorotoluene has the molecular formula C₇H₇Cl and a molar mass of approximately 126.58 g/mol.
The structure of p-Chlorotoluene contains a chlorine atom and a methyl group positioned opposite each other on a benzene ring.

Also known as 4-chlorotoluene, p-Chlorotoluene represents the para isomer of chlorotoluene.
The symmetrical substitution pattern distinguishes p-Chlorotoluene from the ortho and meta isomers.

p-Chlorotoluene normally appears as a clear and colorless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor.
At temperatures near its melting point, p-Chlorotoluene may solidify into a crystalline material.

The melting point of p-Chlorotoluene lies near 8°C, while its boiling point is approximately 162°C.
Under ordinary conditions, p-Chlorotoluene evaporates more slowly than toluene because of its higher molecular mass.

Water dissolves only a very small amount of p-Chlorotoluene.
Many common organic solvents readily mix with or dissolve p-Chlorotoluene.

A density slightly greater than that of water causes liquid p-Chlorotoluene to form a lower layer in mixtures with water.
The refractive and physical properties of p-Chlorotoluene support its identification and quality control.

Industrial production of p-Chlorotoluene commonly involves the controlled chlorination of toluene.
Direct chlorination usually produces p-Chlorotoluene together with ortho-chlorotoluene and smaller amounts of other products.

Distillation, crystallization or combined separation methods can isolate p-Chlorotoluene from chlorination mixtures.
The relatively high melting point of p-Chlorotoluene can assist its separation from other chlorotoluene isomers.

p-Chlorotoluene functions primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
Chemical manufacturers use p-Chlorotoluene to prepare agrochemical, pharmaceutical and specialty chemical intermediates.

Oxidation of the methyl group in p-Chlorotoluene can produce p-chlorobenzoic acid.
Controlled side-chain chlorination of p-Chlorotoluene can produce p-chlorobenzyl chloride.

p-Chlorotoluene contributes to the synthesis of selected dyes, pigments and optical brightener intermediates.
The aromatic structure of p-Chlorotoluene makes further substitution and functionalization possible.

Electrophilic substitution reactions involving p-Chlorotoluene are influenced by both the methyl and chlorine substituents.
The methyl group activates the aromatic ring of p-Chlorotoluene, while the chlorine atom modifies its electronic behavior.

Catalysts and reaction conditions determine the products obtained from p-Chlorotoluene.
Careful temperature control improves selectivity when p-Chlorotoluene undergoes oxidation, chlorination or substitution.

High-purity p-Chlorotoluene is preferred when consistent reaction performance and product quality are required.
Commercial grades of p-Chlorotoluene may differ in purity, moisture content and isomer composition.

Analytical methods such as gas chromatography can determine the purity of p-Chlorotoluene.
Infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry can support the identification of p-Chlorotoluene.

Closed processing equipment helps limit the evaporation of p-Chlorotoluene during industrial use.
Storage away from excessive heat and strong oxidizing agents helps preserve the quality of p-Chlorotoluene.

Recovery by distillation can allow unused p-Chlorotoluene to be returned to suitable production processes.
Efficient process control reduces losses of p-Chlorotoluene and improves raw-material utilization.
Uses of p-Chlorotoluene:
p-Chlorotoluene is the primary industrial starting material for the production of p-chlorobenzotrichloride (via side-chain radical chlorination) and p-chlorobenzotrifluoride (by halogen exchange), which is the key precursor to herbicides including trifluralin (α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine), flucloralin, and oxafluralin.
p-Chlorotoluene is converted to p-chlorobenzyl chloride (by side-chain chlorination) used in rice herbicides and pyrethrin-type insecticides (fenvalerate), and to p-chlorobenzaldehyde (by oxidation) used as an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and UV stabilisers for polymers; it is also converted to p-chlorobenzoyl chloride (pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory intermediates including indomethacin) and p-chlorobenzoic acid (dye and textile finishing agent raw material).
p-Chlorotoluene is used as the starting material for the synthesis of paclobutrazol and uniconazole (plant growth regulators), thiobencarb and daimuron (herbicides), and chlorpyrifos-related intermediates in the agrochemical industry.
p-Chlorotoluene is converted to 4-chlorobenzonitrile (via ammonoxidation or Rosenmund-type reactions) and to 2,4- and 3,4-dichlorotoluenes (by further chlorination), which serve as intermediates for agrochemicals, dyes, and specialty fine chemicals.
p-Chlorotoluene is used as a solvent and reaction medium in organic synthesis — particularly for processes where a stable, combustible, high-boiling aromatic solvent compatible with many organic systems is required — including as a heat transfer medium in high-temperature chemical processes and in rubber and synthetic resin processing.
p-Chlorotoluene is used in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions (Pd-catalysed with phenylboronic acid using bisimidazolylidene ligand systems) as a model substrate for evaluating NHC ligand precursors, and as an analytical reference standard and in environmental gas-phase studies.

Benefits and Advantages of p-Chlorotoluene:
The para-isomer offers well-defined, single-isomer chemistry with a higher melting point (6–8°C) than the ortho (−35°C) and meta (−47°C) isomers due to a more tightly packed crystal structure, and is available at ≥99% purity by falling-film freeze crystallisation, enabling highly selective downstream chemistry not achievable with mixed-isomer products.
p-Chlorotoluene's methyl group is selectively oxidisable to aldehyde, carboxylic acid, or acid chloride by standard industrial oxidation and halogenation routes, and the ring chlorine participates in nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr), palladium-catalysed coupling (Suzuki, Heck, Buchwald-Hartwig), and Ullmann-type reactions; this dual-functional reactivity makes it an exceptionally versatile two-point building block for complex molecular synthesis.
The high boiling point (162°C) and thermal stability of p-chlorotoluene make it an effective high-temperature reaction solvent and heat transfer medium that remains liquid under demanding process conditions where lower-boiling solvents would evaporate or require pressurised systems.
p-Chlorotoluene is registered under Article 18(4) REACH and is available at multi-tonne commercial scale (≥20,000 MT/year capacity at individual production sites) with established global supply chains, providing regulatory compliance and supply security across agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and dye manufacturing markets.

Features of p-Chlorotoluene:
p-Chlorotoluene is a colourless to pale yellow, clear oily aromatic liquid at room temperature; it has a distinctive aromatic odour; density 1.07 g/mL at 25°C (specific gravity 1.0697 at 20°C, 1.069 g/mL); melting point 6–8°C (congealing point ~6.5°C; note: it is a low-melting-point solid that may be solid, liquid, or semi-solid depending on ambient temperature); boiling point 162°C; refractive index n20/D 1.52; vapour density 4.38 vs air.
p-Chlorotoluene is practically insoluble in water (solubility 0.040 g/L at 20°C; <0.1 g/100 mL; saturated aqueous solution pH 7.4); soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, chloroform, and most common organic solvents; it sinks in water (density >1 g/mL); flash point 121°F (49°C, OC); explosive limits 0.7–12.2% v/v; autoignition temperature >500°C; it is stable and combustible, incompatible with strong oxidising agents.
Key physicochemical parameters: dielectric constant 6.08; dipole moment 2.21 D; logP 3.33 (20°C); molar volume 118.2 mL/mol; Henry's Law constant 2.7×10⁻³ mol/(m³·Pa) at 25°C; liquid viscosity at 50°F (10°C) 0.102 cP decreasing to 0.039 cP at 210°F (99°C); GESAMP bioaccumulation factor 2; liquid surface tension 32.24 dynes/cm at 25°C; NFPA 704: Health 2, Fire 2, Reactivity 0.
p-Chlorotoluene is the most commercially important of the three monochlorotoluene isomers; it is separated from the o-isomer (by-product of direct toluene chlorination, o/p ratio typically ~45:55) by distillation or freeze crystallisation; distillation cannot separate p-chlorotoluene from m-chlorotoluene (both boil at 162°C); m-chlorotoluene is produced industrially exclusively by the diazonium route from m-toluidine.

Chemical Properties of p-Chlorotoluene:
p-Chlorotoluene has IUPAC name 1-chloro-4-methylbenzene, linear formula CH₃C₆H₄Cl, SMILES Cc1ccc(Cl)cc1, InChI=1S/C7H7Cl/c1-6-2-4-7(8)5-3-6/h2-5H,1H3, InChIKey NPDACUSDTOMAMK-UHFFFAOYSA-N; PubChem CID 7239; ChEBI CHEBI:34401; CHEMBL1797268; FDA UNII Q8R236H42N; Beilstein/REAXYS 1903635; MDL MFCD00000631; CompTox DTXSID8024814; RTECS XS9010000.
The methyl group of p-chlorotoluene undergoes radical side-chain chlorination to yield 4-chlorobenzyl chloride (ClC₆H₄CH₂Cl), continued chlorination gives 4-chlorobenzal chloride and 4-chlorobenzotrichloride (ClC₆H₄CCl₃); oxidation of the methyl group gives p-chlorobenzaldehyde (ClC₆H₄CHO) and p-chlorobenzoic acid (ClC₆H₄COOH), and thionyl chloride or PCl₅ treatment gives p-chlorobenzoyl chloride; the ring Cl participates in Pd-catalysed cross-coupling (Suzuki, Heck) and nucleophilic aromatic substitution.
p-Chlorotoluene undergoes electrophilic aromatic chlorination (FeCl₃ catalyst) at the 2- and 3-positions to give 2,4- and 3,4-dichlorotoluenes; it undergoes ring nitration to give 2-nitro-4-chlorotoluene and 4-nitro-2-chlorotoluene; it is converted to 4-chlorobenzonitrile by Pd-catalysed ammonoxidation; its methyl group is oxidised by Pd/Cr-catalysis (Wacker-type) or permanganate.
p-Chlorotoluene is stable under normal conditions; incompatible with strong oxidising agents (peroxides, permanganates, nitric acid); combustion emits toxic hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorinated organic smoke; no hazardous polymerisation; OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV not specifically established for p-chlorotoluene — treat as chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon; rat oral LD50: 2,100 mg/kg; mouse oral LD50: 1,900 mg/kg.

Production of p-Chlorotoluene:
The dominant industrial route is direct electrophilic ring chlorination of toluene using Cl₂ gas with FeCl₃ or other Lewis acid catalyst; this gives a mixture of approximately 55% p-chlorotoluene and 45% o-chlorotoluene (plus traces of m-isomer); the isomers are separated by distillation (or combined distillation-crystallisation), with falling-film freeze crystallisation achieving p-chlorotoluene purity >99%; annual industrial capacity at single production sites exceeds 20,000 MT/year.
The laboratory and specialty route to p-chlorotoluene is the Balz-Schiemann-type reaction or Sandmeyer reaction via diazotisation of p-toluidine (4-methylaniline): p-toluidine is treated with HCl and sodium nitrite at 0–15°C to form the diazonium salt, which is then decomposed with cuprous chloride (Sandmeyer conditions) at 60°C to give p-chlorotoluene in 70–79% yield after steam distillation, washing, drying, and fractional distillation at 158–162°C.
Commercial p-chlorotoluene is available at ≥98% (GC) and ≥99.5% (GC) purity with principal impurity ≤0.30% other chlorotoluene isomers (mainly o-chlorotoluene); specification limits: non-volatile residue ≤0.02%; water (K-F) ≤0.05%; density 1.070–1.075 g/cm³ at 20°C; refractive index 1.519–1.523; standard packaging: 200 kg plastic drum, 200 kg galvanised iron drum, or IBC drum; shelf life 36 months under proper storage.
