2,6-Dimethylbenzyl chloride (2,6-DMBC) can be used for spectroscopic studies. 2,6-DMBC as a precursor, with the addition of a large amount of the inert carrier gas He, can be used to generate jet-cooled 2,6-dimethylbenzyl radicals and used in their vibrational spectroscopic studies[1]. 2,6-DMBC can also be used in chemical manufacturing and as a reagent for reactions. The main chemical activity of 2,6-DMBC involves an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, where the chlorine atom replaces the hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring, a process that is usually accelerated by a This process is usually accelerated by a catalyst such as copper(II) chloride. | [References]
