| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Benzyl 2-chloroacetate is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and
oils. Sp.Gr = 1.22. Mild, Jasmin-type odor, floral-fruity, of
considerable tenacity. | [Uses]
Benzyl chloroacetate may be used:
- in the synthesis of monoesters of phosphonoacetic acid
- in the synthesis of N-benzoyl-glycyl- hydroxyl acetic acid, ester substrate for carboxypeptidase Y catalyzed peptide synthesis
- as reagent in the total syntheses of the (±)-di-O-methyl ethers of the norlignans sequirin-A, agatharesinol, and hinokiresinol, and of (±)-tri-O-methyl sequirin-E
| [Preparation]
From Benzyl alcohol and Monochloroacetic acid by direct esterification under azeotropic conditions. | [General Description]
Benzyl chloroacetate is an ester. | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic byintraperitoneal route. When heated todecomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl- . |
