Chloroacetyl Chloride CAS 79-04-9
Product Description
CAS 79-04-9 refers to the chemical compound ethylene glycol, also known as 1,2-ethanediol. It is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid that is commonly used as a coolant and antifreeze in various industrial and consumer applications, including automotive engines, HVAC systems, and refrigeration equipment. However, ethylene glycol is highly toxic if ingested, and can cause serious health problems or even death if not treated promptly. Therefore, it should be handled with caution and stored properly to prevent accidental exposure.

The major use of chloroacetyl chloride is as an intermediate in the production of herbicides in the chloroacetanilide family including metolachlor, acetochlor, alachlor and butachlor; an estimated 100 million pounds are used annually. Some chloroacetyl chloride is also used to produce phenacyl chloride, another chemical intermediate, also used as a tear gas.[3] Phenacyl chloride is synthesized in a Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene, with an aluminium chloride catalyst:[6]
With anisole, it is used for the synthesis of venlafaxine.contact us
