When the CunCl n+1 containing ionic liquids with weak Lewis acid strength were used as the catalysts, more benzyl chloride was formed via the radical chlorination of methyl group. When the [BMIM]Cl-2ZnCl2 ionic liquid was used as the catalyst, after reacting at 80 ◦C for 8 h, the conversion of toluene was 99.7% and the selectivities of o-chlorotoluene, p-chlorotoluene, m-chlorotoluene, benzyl chloride, and dichlorotoluenes were 65.4%, 26.0%, 4.0%, 0.4%, and 4.2%, respectively. The [BMIM]Cl-2ZnCl2 ionic liquid catalyst had good recycling performance. Keywords: ionic liquids; toluene; chlorination; o-chlorotoluene 1. Introduction o-Chlorotoluene as an important raw material has been widely used in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, spices, and dyes [1–5]. o-Chlorotoluene has been commercially produced by the chlorination of toluene with gaseous chlorine over conventional Lewis acid catalysts, such as FeCl3 and AlCl3, accompanied by the formation of m-chlorotoluene, p-chlorotoluene, benzyl chloride, and dichlorotoluenes with high yields [6–8]. While using FeCl3 catalyst, only one half of the product is o-chlorotoluene. However, the conventional Lewis acid catalysts, FeCl3 and AlCl3, cannot be recycled, causing serious equipment corrosion and environmental pollution [7]. Ionic liquids have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of their negligible vapor pressure, high thermal stability, high ionic conductivity, and composition tunability [9–11]. Ionic liquids have been widely used in the catalysis, electrochemistry, and separation fields [12–19]. When the ionic liquids were used as the catalysts for the polymerization of α-pinene and the redistribution reaction of methyltrichlorosilane with low-boiling residue to dimethyldichlorosilane, the Lewis acid ionic liquids had excellent catalytic activity and good reusability [16,20,21]. The ionic liquid acidities could be adjusted by using different types of cations and anions and changing their mole ratios. Their acidities are crucial for the acid-catalyzed reactions. However, to the best of our knowledge, catalytic chlorination of toluene with gaseous Cl2 to chlorotoluene over ionic liquid catalyst has not been reported until now. This paper reports the catalytic activities of the ionic liquid catalysts with the cation counterparts, triethylammonium ([Et3NH]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([BMIM]), and 1-butylpyridinium ([BPy]) − − − and the anion counterparts, ZnnCl 2n+1, AlnCl 3n+1, and CunCl n+1 for the chlorination reaction Catalysts 2018, 8, 532; doi:10.3390/catal8110532 www.mdpi.com/journal/catalysts Catalysts 2018, 8, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 15 This paper reports the catalytic activities of the ionic liquid catalysts with the cation counterparts, triethylammonium ([Et3NH]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([BMIM]), and 1-butylpyridinium ([BPy]) and the anion counterparts, ZnnCl−2n+1, AlnCl−3n+1, and CunCl−n+1 for the Catalysts 2018, 8, 532 2 of 15 chlorination reaction between toluene and gaseous Cl2.

    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.

  • O-Cresol Cas N°: 95-48-7
    OECD SIDS O-CRESOL FOREWORD INTRODUCTION O-CRESOL CAS N°: 95-48-7 UNEP PUBLICATIONS OECD SIDS o-CRESOL SIDS INITIAL ASSESSMENT PROFILE CAS Nr. 95-48-7 Chemical Name o-Cresol OH Structural formula CH3 RECOMMENDATION OF THE SPONSOR COUNTRY further work is required SHORT SUMMARY WHICH SUPPORTS THE REASONS FOR THE RECOMMENDATIONS The worldwide production volume of o-cresol is approx. 37 000 - 38 000 t/a. It is mostly used as an intermediate for the production of pesticides, epoxy resins, dyes and pharmaceuticals, but also as a component of disinfectants and cleaning agents. o-Cresol is "readily biodegradable" and has a low bio- or geoaccumulation potential. The most sensitive environmental species to o-cresol are salmonid fish (96h- LC50 = 6.2 - 8.4 mg/l). The derived PNEC, based on (Q)SARs for chronic effects is 12 µg/l. For toxicological endpoints, the NOAEL for repeated dose (90d - study) was 50 mg/kg bw/d for mice and rats. For reproductive toxicity, no increased risks to offspring were observed in the absence of parental effects. The NOAEL for parental toxicity was determined as 30 mg/kg bw/d in rats. o-Cresol can induce chromosomal aberrations and increase SCEs in vitro but not in vivo. There are no adequate bioassays or chronic studies available to assess the carcinogenic potential of o-cresol. There are indications though for a tumor promoting activity. Aquatic PECs of up to 168.6 µg/l were estimated for the use as an intermediate and as a component in different products. Human doses of up to 1.74 mg/kg bw/d are estimated from exposures of workers using products containing o-cresol.
