Methyl 4-chloroacetoacetate is a neutral compound that reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce a salt, chloromethyl acetate. The reaction solution is then heated to evaporate the water and produce an organic solution. This reaction produces a molecular model of the compound, which has potent antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
