General Description

(1-chloro-1,2-diphenyl-ethyl)benzene, also known as benzhydryl chloride, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C20H17Cl. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Benzhydryl chloride is primarily used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including antihistamines and antipsychotic drugs. It is also used as a reagent in the production of other organic compounds and as a chemical intermediate in the manufacturing of dyes and pigments. However, benzhydryl chloride is considered to be a hazardous substance, and proper safety precautions and handling protocols should be followed when working with this compound.
