Benzyl chloromethyl ether Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

It is derived from the reaction of benzyl alcohol, formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride. First mix the benzyl alcohol and formaldehyde solution, cool to 5°C, pass in hydrogen chloride to make the reaction solution saturated, and continue to pass in hydrogen chloride at 10°C. The reactants are separated into layers, the upper layer solution is dried with anhydrous calcium chloride, and the hydrogen chloride is removed under reduced pressure. Then vacuum distillation, collect 96-99 ℃ (1.47kPa) distillate, get the product.

Uses

Used as acid protecting group; introducing benzoic acid group and hydroxymethyl group
