Methoxyacetyl chloride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Methoxyacetyl chloride is a acylating reagent; precursor to methoxyketene; in combination with Lewis acids is a reagent for aromatic chloromethylation.

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to yellow liquid

Uses

Methoxyacetyl chloride is used as an intermediate for active pharmaceutical ingredients and dyes. Further, it acts as a precursor for the synthesis of agrochemicals.

Synthesis

625-45-6

38870-89-2

Step 1: To a solution of methoxyacetic acid (20 mL, 0.26 mol) in dichloromethane (170 mL) was added dropwise oxalyl chloride (30 mL, 0.34 mol) and a catalytic amount of DMF (a few drops) at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and the solvent was subsequently removed by rotary evaporator. The residue was distilled under reduced pressure to afford methoxyacetyl chloride (54b, 25.4 g, 90% yield).
