2-Chloroethyl methacrylate

Description:
2-Chloroethyl methacrylate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically an alkyl methacrylate. It features a methacrylate functional group, which is characterized by the presence of a methacrylic acid derivative, and a chloroethyl substituent that enhances its reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. 2-Chloroethyl methacrylate is known for its ability to undergo polymerization, making it useful in the production of various polymers and copolymers. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the chlorine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Due to its chemical properties, it is often utilized in applications such as coatings, adhesives, and as a monomer in the synthesis of specialty polymers. However, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure, necessitating appropriate safety measures during use.
