Ethyl chloroacetate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
Chemical Properties
colourless liquid
Usage
Reagent used in the preparation of 5 member heterocycles.
General Description
A clear colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Flash point 100°F. Denser than water and insoluble in water. Vapors heavier than air.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. Slow hydrolysis to acidic products will cause slow corrosion of common metals. No hazard involved. [USCG, 1999].
Reactivity Profile
Ethyl chloroacetate is a chlorinated ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Health Hazard
Inhalation causes irritation of mucous membrane, headache, and nausea. Contact with liquid causes extreme eye irritation and conjunctivitis; irritates skin if not removed at once. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating, toxic hydrogen chloride and phosgene may be generated in fires.
