| preparation | 4-methylbenzyl chloride is an important pharmaceutical intermediate and an important fine chemical raw material, can be used for the preparation of p-methyl benzyl alcohol, P-methyl benzaldehyde etc. At present, the main process for industrial production of 4-methylbenzyl chloride is 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde as a raw material, and the target product is obtained by methylation of dimethyl sulfate, potassium borohydride or hydrogenation reduction, and chlorination of alum chloride or concentrated hydrochloric acid. |
| purpose | for the preparation of p-methylbenzyl alcohol, P-methylbenzaldehyde and so on for the preparation of p-methylbenzyl alcohol, P-tolualdehyde |
