4-Chlorotoluene is a chemical substance that belongs to the class of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PAH) and can be found in wastewater treatment. It can be synthesized by reacting hydrogen chloride with 4-chlorophenol. The reaction mechanism is based on the formation of reactive sites at nitrogen atoms, which are activated by kinetic energy in the form of hydrogen bonds. The reaction solution is then cooled to room temperature and mixed with an extraction solvent. This process is followed by a fluorescence detector, which measures the amount of PAHs in the solution.

Applications 4-Chlorotoluene is used in a variety of organic synthesis, such as acting as coupling precursors for palladium-catalyzed acylation of acetanilides.
