Chloromethyl acetate

Description:

Chloromethyl acetate is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H7ClO2. It is characterized by the presence of both an acetate group and a chloromethyl group, making it a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. This colorless to pale yellow liquid has a sweet, fruity odor and is known for its reactivity, particularly as an alkylating agent. Chloromethyl acetate is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to its reactive nature, it can pose health hazards, including irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and it is classified as a potential carcinogen. Proper handling and safety precautions are essential when working with this compound. Additionally, it is important to store it in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances to prevent hazardous reactions.

Chloromethyl acetate

Chloromethyl acetate is a potent antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids. It also has an inhibitory effect on adenosine receptors and is used to treat congestive heart failure, inflammatory diseases, metabolic disorders, and other conditions. Chloromethyl acetate has been shown to be effective against a number of bacterial strains, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Chloromethyl acetate binds to the cyanoformate group in the bacterial cell wall by competitive inhibition. This binding prevents the formation of an antibiotic-inhibitor complex with the enzyme fatty acid synthase that is required for fatty acid biosynthesis, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division.
