Abstract
The action of elemental chlorine on alkyl aromatics can lead to addition or substitution on the aromatic ring, or substitution in the aliphatic side chain, depending on the reaction conditions.
The side-chain-chlorinated alkyl aromatics, particularly those based on toluene and xylene, are important intermediates in the manufacture of many chemical products, including dyes, plastics, pharmaceuticals, flavors and fragrances, pesticides, catalysts, inhibitors, and many other specialty chemicals. The most important side-chain-chlorinated alkyl aromatics in the chemical industry are the toluene derivatives benzyl chloride, benzal chloride, and benzotrichloride.
