Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 2-chloro-2,2-difluoroacetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 2-chloro-2,2-difluoroacetate is an organic compound that is used in the synthesis of benzofuran derivatives. It reacts with chlorine to generate a reactive intermediate and then undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction to produce the desired compound. The kinetic studies of this reaction have been conducted using isolated yields of the reactants. The active methylene group can undergo a variety of reactions because it has a reactive chlorine atom attached to it. This active substance inhibits the NS5B polymerase, which is responsible for converting RNA into DNA. Ethyl 2-chloro-2,2-difluoroacetate may be used as a potential treatment for inflammatory diseases such as asthma and arthritis because it prevents acetylcholine from binding to its receptor α.
