Description

2-Chlorophenylacetyl Chloride is a chlorinating agent that reacts with alkaline conditions to form a chloride. As an active ingredient in pesticides, it has been shown to have high selectivity and to be selective against fungi. The 2-chlorophenylacetyl chloride can be used as the starting material for epoxiconazole synthesis by Wittig reaction.
2-Chlorophenylacetyl Chloride is also a useful intermediate for the preparation of many other compounds. It can be used to synthesize dimethylchloride, which is used in the production of plastics and polymers; or it can be used to prepare formamide, which is used in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This compound has been shown to have catalysis properties and can be used in Wittig reactions that are selective towards different carbonyl groups.
