Ethylbenzyl chloride (CAS: 26968-58-1) is an aromatic compound with an ethyl group and a chloromethyl group in ortho positions (or as an isomer mixture). The highly reactive benzylic chloride undergoes nucleophilic substitution (amination, etherification, thiolation) to prepare benzyl quaternary ammonium salts, benzyl ethers, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
