Mono Chloro Acetic Acid

Product Details:

Monochloroacetic Acid:
CAS No.: 79-11-8
Monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) plays a major role in the manufacture of many products which are well-known and important in our daily lives. The most noteworthy characteristic of this chemical intermediate is its bi-functional reactivity. MCAA is used in manufacturing a variety of products including herbicides and pharmaceuticals, anaesthetics, tranquilizers and amphoteric surfactants, which are cleansing agents used in shampoos.

Product Details:

Sodium chloroacetate is the organic compound with the formula CH₂ClCO₂Na. A white, water-soluble solid, it is the sodium salt of chloroacetic acid. Many of its uses are similar to those of the parent acid. It is prepared by treating chloroacetic acid with sodium carbonate.^[1][2]

Chloroacetate is a good alkylating agent, serving as a reagent for affixing the -CH₂CO₂^- group to a wide variety of even weak nucleophiles.

In terms of practical, commercial uses, it is used to convert cellulose to cellulose acetate. It is a precursor to many herbicides dimethoate and benazoline (the salt itself is also used as a contact herbicide). It is a precursor to thioglycolic acid by reaction with sodium hydrosulfide. Reaction with cyanide salts gives cyanoacetate NCCH₂CO₂Na.^[3] Cyanoacetate is a precursor to malonic acid.

Sodium chloroacetate is a common laboratory reagent in organic chemistry as illustrated by many entries in the book series Organic Syntheses. With bifunctional nucleophiles, sodium chloroacetate is a precursor to heterocycles.^[4][5]

Reaction with sodium nitrite give nitroacetic acid.^[6] With sodium ethoxide it gives ethoxyacetate.^[7] With ethyl acetoacetate ethyl acetosuccinate is produced.^[8]

Hydrolysis gives glycolic acid.^[1]
