Description

Chloroacetaldehyde diethyl acetal is a reactive, aliphatic hydrocarbon. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to form chloroacetic acid and diethyl ether. Chloroacetaldehyde diethyl acetal has been found to be genotoxic in vitro and in vivo due to its ability to react with the hydroxyl group of DNA and RNA. This chemical also shows an inhibitory effect on cationic polymerization reactions, which are used in the production of plastics. In addition, chloroacetaldehyde diethyl acetal is able to induce psychosis in rats at doses of 4-8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), based on a study using Sprague-Dawley rats. Urinary samples showed that the metabolite 2,4-dichloro-5-oxopentanoic acid was present after ingestion of this chemical at levels of 1 mg/kg.
