Structure and reactivity
The structure of xylylene dichloride is characterized by an benzene ring with two chloromethyl groups and four hydrogen atoms bound to it.[4] The chloromethyl groups can be located on different sites on the ring, leading to a few different possible forms. These forms are:[3]
- o-xylylene dichloride: 1,2-bis(chloromethyl)benzene
- m-xylylene dichloride: 1,3-bis(chloromethyl)benzene
- p-xylylene dichloride: 1,4-bis(chloromethyl)benzene
The reactive groups of xylylene dichloride are the two CH2Cl groups.
Synthesis
Xylylene dichloride can be synthesized from benzenedimethanol by reaction with hydrogen chloride.[5] It has also been produced by photochemical chlorination of ortho-xylene.[6]
