2-Chloro-2-methylpropanoyl chloride

Description:
2-Chloro-2-methylpropanoyl chloride, with the CAS number 13222-26-9, is an acyl chloride that features a chloro group and a branched alkyl chain. This compound is characterized by its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a potent electrophile. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity and potential to release hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but reacts vigorously with water, alcohols, and amines, leading to the formation of corresponding acids and amides. Its structure allows for applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters and amides. Safety precautions are essential when handling this substance, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent unwanted reactions.
