(Chloromethoxy)ethane

Description:

(Chloromethoxy)ethane, also known by its IUPAC name 2-chloro-1-methoxyethane, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both chlorine and methoxy functional groups attached to an ethane backbone. It typically appears as a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor. This compound is classified as an ether due to the methoxy group, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its reactivity, allowing it to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. (Chloromethoxy)ethane is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances is essential to ensure safety and stability.

Chloromethyl ethyl ether

CAS: 3188-13-4

Chloromethyl ethyl ether is a trifluoroacetic acid derivative that is used as a solvent. It reacts with radiation and forms the highly reactive hydroxyl radical. Chloromethyl ethyl ether can be used to destroy brain infarction from radiation treatment, although it has no use in clinical medicine. Chloromethyl ethyl ether also has high values for transport properties and is resistant to hydrolysis by acids. This compound is synthesized by reacting chloroethanol with methyl chloroformate in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The biological properties of chloromethyl ethyl ether are not well understood; however, it has been shown to bind with receptors on cells and inhibit protein synthesis.
