General Description

2,5-Dichlorophenethyl alcohol, also known as DCPE or 2,5-DCP, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H9Cl2O. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong herbal, floral odor, and is used primarily as a fragrance agent in personal care products and perfumes. It is also utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. Though relatively low in toxicity, exposure to high concentrations of 2,5-Dichlorophenethyl alcohol may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and precautionary measures should be taken when handling this chemical.

Solution and Flash Vacuum Pyrolysis of Some 2,6-Disubstituted β-Phenethylsulfonyl Azides and of β-Styrenesulfonyl Azide

Solution thermolysis of 2,6-dichloro-β-phenethyl- and 2,6-dimethyl-β-phenethylsulfonyl azide leads to the formation of the corresponding 5,8-disubstituted 3,4-dihydro-2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxides resulting from a 1,2-chlorine and -methyl shift, respectively, in the intermediates.No insertion into the phenethyl side chain, or into the side-chain methyl group in the 2,6-dimethyl case, was detected.Attempted cyclization of ethene-sulfonanilides to 2,1-benzothiazine 2,2-dioxide failed.The orientation of the dichlorosultam was established unambiguously by its FVP to 4,7-dichloroindoline and by the synthesis of an authentic sample.Solution thermolysis of β-styrenesulfonyl azide gave only hydrogen abstraction (32) and solvent insertion (33) products, but FVP gave indole, phenylacetonitrile, and phenylacetylene.
