1. Agrochemical production: Serves as a building block for synthesizing pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, leveraging 2-Chlorotoluene CAS 95-49-8 reactivity to form biologically active compounds.

2. Pharmaceutical synthesis: 2-Chlorotoluene acts as a precursor in manufacturing various drugs, enabling the creation of complex molecular structures through substitution or functional group reactions.

3. Dye and pigment manufacturing: Participates in reactions to produce dyes, pigments, and other organic colorants, thanks to 2-Chlorotoluene CAS 95-49-8 aromatic structure and chemical versatility.

4. Chemical intermediate for other compounds: 2-Chlorotoluene used to synthesize benzyl chloride derivatives, phenols, and other aromatic chemicals through chlorination, hydrolysis, or coupling reactions.

1. Container: Keep 2-Chlorotoluene in a tightly sealed, chemical-resistant container (e.g., glass or HDPE) to prevent leakage or vapor release.

2. Environment: Store 2-Chlorotoluene CAS 95-49-8 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, open flames, and direct sunlight.

3. Compatibility: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, strong bases, or active metals (e.g., sodium, potassium), as 2-Chlorotoluene may react violently.

4. Labeling: Clearly mark the container with 2-Chlorotoluene CAS 95-49-8 name, hazards, and storage instructions.

5. Security: Store 2-Chlorotoluene in a restricted, locked area, separate from incompatible substances and unauthorized access.
