2-(2-Chloroethoxy)acetyl chloride

Description:

2-(2-Chloroethoxy)acetyl chloride, with the CAS number 39229-33-9, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, including an acetyl chloride moiety and a chloroethoxy group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity, particularly as an acylating agent. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is generally insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the chloroethoxy group imparts certain electrophilic properties, making it useful in various synthetic applications, including the preparation of esters and other derivatives. As with many acyl chlorides, it can react vigorously with water, alcohols, and amines, releasing hydrochloric acid in the process. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, is recommended to maintain its stability and reactivity.
