Chloroacetyl Chloride
Chloroacetyl Chloride is a highly reactive bifunctional reagent used as a primary building block in organic chemistry. It is valued for its ability to introduce chloroacetyl groups into chemical structures with high precision.
It is indispensable in the agricultural sector for manufacturing acetanilide herbicides. Its technical grade purity ensures efficient conversion rates and high yields in the production of active crop protection ingredients.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as a critical intermediate for local anesthetics and antibiotics. This liquid is a powerful lachrymator, requiring specialized handling equipment and rigorous safety protocols in manufacturing sites.
Chloroacetyl Chloride
- Herbicide Production: Essential raw material for the synthesis of Alachlor, Butachlor, and other acetanilide-based agrochemicals.
- Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used to produce Lidocaine and various anti-inflammatory medicinal compounds.
- Chemical Intermediate: Employed in the creation of chloroacetate esters and fine chemical specialties.
Highly toxic by inhalation and corrosive to all body tissues. It is a potent lachrymator. Mandatory SCBA and acid-proof suits are required for all handling operations.
