Description

2-Methoxyethyl chloroformate is an organic chemical compound that has a hydroxyl group. It is also known as 2-Methoxyethyl acetate or MEC. This substance can be used to produce other chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and herbicides. 2-Methoxyethyl chloroformate is used in the synthesis of peptides and proteins, which are important for cellular functions. The compound has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, but is not active against gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli.
2-Methoxyethyl chloroformate has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory pain caused by protease activity (e.g., inflammation) and trigeminal neuralgia (e.g., nerve pain).
