CAS 40926-73-6

Acetyl chloride, (2-methoxyphenoxy)-

Description:

Acetyl chloride, (2-methoxyphenoxy)-, with the CAS number 40926-73-6, is an organic compound characterized by its acetyl chloride functional group attached to a 2-methoxyphenoxy moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity and volatility. It is known for its role as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of esters and amides. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents and can influence its reactivity. Acetyl chloride is sensitive to moisture and can hydrolyze to form acetic acid, making it necessary to handle it under anhydrous conditions. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials, is crucial to maintain its stability and efficacy in chemical reactions.
