4-Chloro-2-methoxy-1-methylbenzene, also known as p-chloro-o-methylanisole, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom, a methoxy group (-OCH3), and a methyl group (-CH3). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the chlorine atom contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The methoxy and methyl groups influence its electronic properties, affecting its reactivity and interaction with other substances. 4-Chloro-2-methoxy-1-methylbenzene is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

5-Chloro-2-methylanisole (5CMA) is an organic compound that is used as a precursor in the production of phenanthrenes. It undergoes a cyclization reaction to produce 5-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran, a key intermediate in the synthesis of phenanthrene. A magnesium salt is required for this reaction to occur. 5CMA also has antimicrobial properties and can be used as a biocide.
