4-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one

CAS: 2463-45-8

4-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one is a chemical compound that is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It can be prepared by reacting 4-chloro-2-oxopentanenitrile with formaldehyde. 4-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one has been used in the synthesis of epoxides and other compounds. The reaction mechanism involves an initial nucleophilic attack by chlorine on the electrophilic carbon atom. This leads to the formation of a reactive intermediate which then reacts with another molecule of formaldehyde to form 4-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one and release hydrogen chloride gas. Kinetic studies have shown that the rate of this reaction increases with increasing temperature but reaches an optimum at about 60°C. 4-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one
