3,4-Methylenedioxybenzyl chloride (MDBnCl; Piperonylchloride; Sesamyl methyl chloride; 3,4-Methylenedioxyphenyl methyl chloride) is a chemical that is
used in organic synthesis. It's melting point is
20.5 °C. It's boiling point is 97-
100 ° at 1 mmHg. MDBnCl is used to synthesize other chemicals like MDP2P (3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Propanone) and MDP2Bu 3,4-MethyleneDioxyPhenyl-2-Butanone; 1-(3,4-Methylenedioxy)phenyl-2-butanone
via MDBn-MgCl (3,4-Methylenedioxybenzyl magnesium chloride) and acetonitrile or propionitrile and HCl
acid work-up.
