1-Chloro-3-methoxy-2-propanol

Description:

1-Chloro-3-methoxy-2-propanol, with the CAS number 4151-97-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom, a methoxy group, and a hydroxyl group within its molecular structure. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It has a relatively low boiling point and is sensitive to moisture, which can lead to hydrolysis. The chlorine atom in its structure makes it a potential candidate for nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the methoxy group can influence its reactivity and polarity. 1-Chloro-3-methoxy-2-propanol is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used to minimize exposure.
