CAS 87-56-9

Mucochloric acid

Description:

Mucochloric acid, with the CAS number 87-56-9, is a chemical compound that is primarily recognized as a chlorinated derivative of acetic acid. It is characterized by its strong acidic properties and is typically encountered as a colorless to pale yellow liquid. The compound has a pungent odor and is soluble in water, making it reactive in various chemical environments. Mucochloric acid is known for its ability to act as a chlorinating agent, which allows it to participate in various organic synthesis reactions, particularly in the production of chlorinated organic compounds. Due to its corrosive nature, it requires careful handling and storage, typically in glass or certain plastics to prevent degradation. Safety precautions are essential when working with this substance, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Its applications may extend to laboratory research and industrial processes, although it is less commonly encountered compared to other chlorinated acids.
