Description and Uses

Benzyl chloromethyl ether is a powerful alkylating agent and a potential carcinogen. It is also a mild lachrymator, reacting with water and alcohols to form hydrogen chloride. The process should be performed in a hood and inhalation and skin contact should be avoided.

Benzyl chloromethyl ether is employed in the introduction of benzoyloxy- and hydroxymethyl groups.
