The Chloroacetic Acid Analytical Grade ACS (Monochloroacetic Acid) by Dinâmica, available at LojaLab, is a haloacetic acid in which one hydrogen of the methyl group of acetic acid has been replaced by chlorine. The combination of a carboxylic-acid group and an activated chloromethyl carbon gives the compound considerable synthetic utility: in addition to neutralization and acid-derivative formation, it acts as a carboxymethylating agent and a substrate in nucleophilic substitution reactions with oxygen-, nitrogen- or sulfur-containing species. It is used to prepare carboxymethyl ethers, thioethers, amines, salts and many organic intermediates. It is normally supplied as a colorless to off-white crystalline solid and melts near 61 to 63 degrees Celsius.
