:Carbonochloridic acid, 2-phenylethyl ester
Description:
Carbonochloridic acid, 2-phenylethyl ester, also known as phenethyl chloroformate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from carbonochloridic acid and 2-phenylethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly as a reagent in organic synthesis, where it is often used for the protection of amines and alcohols. The presence of the chloroformate group makes it a potent electrophile, allowing it to readily react with nucleophiles. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is generally less soluble in water. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability and efficacy in chemical reactions.

2-Phenylethyl chloroformate
CAS:<p>Phenylethyl chloroformate is a member of the class of antimicrobial agents. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by reacting with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, nitro groups, and hydroxyl groups in cell membranes. Phenylethyl chloroformate binds to the serine protease that is activated by the enzyme circulatory system, which prevents the formation of amide bonds between amino acids. This binding prevents the production of protein molecules that are necessary for bacterial growth.</p>Formula:C9H9ClO2Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:184.62 g/mol
