CAS 541-88-8

Chloroacetic anhydride

Description:

Chloroacetic anhydride, with the CAS number 541-88-8, is an organic compound characterized by its anhydride functional group derived from chloroacetic acid. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. This compound is highly reactive, particularly with water, forming chloroacetic acid upon hydrolysis. Chloroacetic anhydride is known for its role as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, facilitating the introduction of chloroacetyl groups into various substrates. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but is not soluble in water due to its reactivity. The compound is classified as hazardous; it can cause severe burns upon contact with skin and is harmful if inhaled or ingested. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, are essential when handling this substance. Its applications extend to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals, highlighting its significance in the field of organic chemistry.
