2-Chlorophenylacetone is an organic chemical compound that is a substrate for enzymes. It can be used as a reagent in the synthesis of phenylacetone and other substituted phenylacetic acids, which are chiral starting materials used in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and plastics. 2-Chlorophenylacetone binds to the active site on enzymes that catalyze reactions involving ethylene, nitroethane, chloride and phenylacetone. The binding site is defined by amino acid residues at positions corresponding to glycine (G), alanine (A), and aspartic acid (D) in the enzyme's active site. 2-Chlorophenylacetone has been shown to be a powerful inhibitor of dehydrogenase activity with IC50 values of 1.5 mM for acetaldehyde dehydrogenase from yeast cells and 3.2 mM for alcohol dehydrogenase from rat liver mitochondria. In addition, it
