Benzyl 2-chloroacetate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Benzyl chloroacetate may be used:

• in the synthesis of monoesters of phosphonoacetic acid
• in the synthesis of N-benzoyl-glycyl- hydroxyl acetic acid, ester substrate for carboxypeptidase Y catalyzed peptide synthesis
• as reagent in the total syntheses of the (±)-di-O-methyl ethers of the norlignans sequirin-A, agatharesinol, and hinokiresinol, and of (±)-tri-O-methyl sequirin-E

General Description

Benzyl chloroacetate is an ester.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic byintraperitoneal route. When heated todecomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl^- .
