    4-Chlorotoluene is used in a variety of organic synthesis, such as acting as coupling precursors for palladium-catalyzed acylation of acetanilides. It is also used for the preparation model gas of 4-chlorotoulene by passing synthesized air into liquid 4-chlorotoulene.

    4-chlorotoluene is used as a solvent and intermediate for dyes and other organic chemicals.  It is used mainly to produce p-chlorobenzotrichloride, from whichis obtained p-chlorobenzotrifluoride, an important precursor of herbicides.
