Benzal chloride is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CHCl2. [cite web
url=http://www.inchem.org/documents/icsc/icsc/eics0101.htm
title=BENZAL CHLORIDE
publisher=International Programme on Chemical Safety
accessdate=2007-10-30] This colourless liquid is a lachrymator and is used as a building block in organic synthesis.

Benzal chloride is produced by the free radical chlorination of toluene, being preceded in the process by benzyl chloride and followed by benzotrichloride: C6H5CH3 + Cl2 → C6H5CH2Cl + HCl: C6H5CH2Cl + Cl2 → C6H5CHCl2 + HCl: C6H5CHCl2 + Cl2 → C6H5CCl3 + HCl

Most benzal chloride is hydrolysed to benzaldehyde: [Manfred Rossberg, Wilhelm Lendle, Gerhard Pfleiderer, Adolf Tögel, Eberhard-Ludwig Dreher, Ernst Langer, Heinz Rassaerts, Peter Kleinschmidt, Heinz Strack, Richard Cook, Uwe Beck, Karl-August Lipper, Theodore R. Torkelson, Eckhard Löser, Klaus K. Beutel, “Chlorinated Hydrocarbons” in Ullmann’s Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 2007 John Wiley & Sons: New York.] : C6H5CHCl2 + H2O → C6H5CHO + 2 HCl

Addition of strong base to benzal chloride generates phenylcarbene.
