4-(Chloromethyl)benzoyl chloride (CAS 1009-76-5; C8H6Cl2O) is a key chlorinating agent synthesized via side-chain chlorination of p-tolyl derivatives. It serves as a critical intermediate in organic synthesis.
Strictly store under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures below 25°C. Requires PPE due to severe corrosivity and moisture sensitivity; hydrolysis releases toxic HCl fumes.
