NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing comprehensive information to its clients regarding the products it supplies. 3-Methylbenzoyl Chloride (CAS 1711-06-4) is a reactive organic chemical that requires careful handling due to its inherent properties. Understanding its characteristics and implementing appropriate safety measures is crucial for all users.

3-Methylbenzoyl Chloride is classified as a corrosive liquid, which means it can cause severe skin burns and eye damage upon contact. Its vapors may also cause respiratory irritation. Due to its reactivity, it is sensitive to moisture and can react with water, releasing corrosive fumes. Therefore, when handling this compound, it is imperative to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles with side shields, and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye exposure.

When working with 3-Methylbenzoyl Chloride, ensuring adequate ventilation is paramount. Operations should ideally be conducted in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to minimize inhalation exposure. It is also advisable to avoid generating mists or vapors. For storage, containers should be kept tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials, particularly water and strong bases.

The chemical properties of 3-Methylbenzoyl Chloride also dictate its use in synthesis. Its electrophilic nature makes it an excellent acylating agent. However, this same reactivity necessitates caution during reactions, particularly when exothermic processes are involved. Users should always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on hazards, first aid, firefighting measures, and accidental release procedures. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that all necessary safety documentation is available to support responsible use of 3-methylbenzoyl chloride.
