|  |  | 4-Methoxybenzylchloride Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | Colorless liquid |  | Uses | O/N protecting group reagent which can be mildly oxidatively cleaved, e.g., with ceric ammonium nitrate. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 20, p. 190, 1977 DOI: 10.1021/jm00212a002 The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 53, p. 3634, 1988 DOI: 10.1021/jo00250a048
 |  | General Description | 4-Methoxybenzyl chloride undergoes mild oxidative claevage with ceric ammonium nitrate. |  | Purification Methods | Purify 4-anisyl chloride by fractional distillation under vacuum, and the middle fraction is redistilled at 10-6 mm at room temperature by intermittent cooling of the receiver in liquid N2, and the middle fraction is collected.
