  • Benzyl Chloride)
    Screening Assessment for the Challenge Benzene, (chloromethyl)- (Benzyl chloride) Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number 100-44-7 Environment Canada Health Canada November 2009 Screening Assessment CAS RN 100-44-7 Synopsis Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Ministers of the Environment and of Health have conducted a screening assessment of benzene, (chloromethyl)-, also known as benzyl chloride, Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number 100-44-7. This substance was identified in the categorization of the Domestic Substances List (DSL) as a high priority for action under the Challenge. Benzyl chloride was identified as presenting greatest potential for exposure of individuals in Canada and had been classified by other agencies on the basis of carcinogenicity and genotoxicity. Although the substance met the categorization criteria for persistence, it did not meet the criteria for bioaccumulation potential or inherent toxicity to aquatic organisms; therefore, the focus of this assessment relates primarily to human health aspects. According to data submitted in response to a Notice issued under section 71 of the Act, no persons in Canada reported manufacturing benzyl chloride in a quantity greater than or equal to the reporting threshold of 100 kg for the 2006 calendar year. However, it was reported that 100 000–1 000 000 kg were imported into Canada in that year. The response to the section 71 notice indicated that benzyl chloride is mainly used in Canada as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds, which are used primarily as hard surface sanitizers, corrosion inhibitors, fungicides in industrial cleaners and bactericides in surfactants in household and personal care products.

In a paper "On Benzophenone Chloride and the Formation of Anthraquinone in the Preparation of Benzophenone," '^pub­ lished by Kekule and Franehimont in 1872, they state that "we have among other things, tried the action of sodium ethoxide, silver acetate, and silver benzoaite on benzo­ phenone chloride, but have not yet arrived at any definite results." On repeating this experiment, the following reaction was found to take place ( C6Hs )gCfil2+ 2NaOC2H5» =( C6H5 )o'(0CgH5 )g+ 2NaCl and by replacing the sodium ethoxide by the sodium compounds of other alcohols, the corresponding derivatives were obtained. As these substances bear the same relation to benzo­ phenone that acetal bears to acetaldehyde, the study of the corresponding derivatives of benzaldehyde was entered upon. The first method by which these compounds were pre­ pared was the action of benzal chloride on sodium methoxide and its homologues according to the equation - 1 ) Ber. 1872, 5. 909 2 C6H5 .CHC12+ 2NaOCH3= CgH5CH(OC E3 )g+ 2NaCl.

In continuing this investigation, dipropyloxy-, diisobutyloxy-, and dihydroxy-tetraphenyl- methane have been prepared, and for the sake of comparison a number of experiments with benzal chloride have been carried out. The action of sodium methoxide and its homologues on benzal chloride was first investigated by Wicke (Anncden, 1857, 102, 356), who prepared dimethoxy-, diethoxy-, and diamyloxy-benzylidenes, the reaction pro- ceeding thus : C,H,*CHCI, + 2CH,*ONa = C,H,-CH(O*CH,), + 2NaCI. Some years later, Limpricht, in a research on the chlorine substitution products of toluene (Anncderh, 1886, 139, 319), repeated Wicke's work, but was unable to obtain products free from chlorine. This being so, and no record of the yield of the products obtained by Wicke being given, it was thought advisable to try these experiments agzin under various conditions.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk.

    Bibliography of Work on the Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Removal of Hazardous Compounds from Water and Air Update Number 3 To January 1999 Daniel M. Blake Summary The subject of this report is chemistry and engineering for the application of heterogeneous photocataly- sis. The state of the art in catalysts are forms of titanium dioxide or modifications thereof, but work on other heterogeneous catalysts is included in this compilation. This report is a continuation the bibliographies of work on the photocatalytic oxidation of organic or inorganic compounds in air or water and on the photocatalytic reduction of inorganic compounds in water that were published in May 1994, October 1995, and January 1997. The previous reports included 663, 574, and 518 citations, respectively. This update contains 1,517 new references. These were published between October 1996 and January 1999, or are references from prior years that were not included in the previous reports. The general focus of the work is removing hazardous chemical or biological contaminants from air, water, and surfaces. This report also references work on properties of semiconductor photocatalysts and the application of photocatalytic chemistry in organic synthesis. The organization is the same as in the previous reports in this series except that patents are included as a separate list because of the large number that have appeared since the last report. The first part of the report gives citations for work done in a few broad categories that are generic to the process. Three tables provide references to work on specific substances. The first covers organic compounds that are included in various lists of hazardous substances identified by the U.S.
