2-Methoxyethyl chloroformate

Description:

2-Methoxyethyl chloroformate, with the CAS number 628-12-6, is an organic compound characterized by its chloroformate functional group attached to a methoxyethyl moiety. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly as an acylating agent, making it useful in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of esters and amides. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the chloroformate group makes it susceptible to hydrolysis, releasing hydrochloric acid and methanol upon reaction with water. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
