2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene - Introduction
2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene, also known as 2-chloro-5-toluenethiol, is an organic compound. The following describes its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene is a colorless liquid with a strong sulfur odor. At room temperature, the density is large, the boiling point is 84-85 degrees Celsius, and the molecular formula is C7H7ClS.
Use:
2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene is commonly used in organic synthesis reactions as a protecting group remover for alcohols, ethers, aldehydes and other compounds, and can realize the conversion from thiol to alcohol or ether. In addition, it can also be used as a solvent in organic synthesis.
Method:
2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene can be prepared by reacting toluene with phosphorus chloride. The specific reaction condition is that phosphorus chloride is added in a solvent and stirred, then toluene is slowly added dropwise, and after the reaction is complete, the organic phase is separated after washing with water to obtain the target product.
Safety Information:
2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene is irritating and corrosive, and contact with skin and eyes may cause irritation and burns. Appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and protective clothing should be worn during operation. At the same time, make sure to operate in a well-ventilated place to avoid inhaling gas vapor. If you come into contact with this compound, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help. In addition, the compound is also a flammable liquid, should avoid contact with open flame and high temperature.
