CAS 598-99-2

Methyl trichloroacetate

Description:

Methyl trichloroacetate, with the CAS number 598-99-2, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of three chlorine atoms attached to the acetyl moiety. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. This compound is known for its high volatility and low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. Methyl trichloroacetate is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits properties typical of chlorinated compounds, including potential toxicity and environmental concerns due to its reactivity and persistence. Safety precautions are essential when handling this substance, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Additionally, it is important to consider its potential effects on human health and the environment, necessitating proper storage and disposal methods in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

Methyl trichloroacetate (MTCA) is a reactive chemical that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. It has been shown to react with nucleophiles, such as hydroxyl groups, to form a copper complex. MTCA has also been found to produce light emission when exposed to air and aryl halides. The synthesis of MTCA involves treating 1-chloro-2-propanol with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of an acid catalyst. The chemical can be detected by gas chromatography or liquid chromatography, but it is not readily available on the market.
