BETA-CHLOROLACTIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Description

β-Chlorolactic acid, also known as 3-Chloro-2-hydroxypropanoic acid, is a major intermediate of 3-monochloro-1,2-propanediol (MCPD) in mammals, and a by-product of acid hydrolysis in the production of soy sauce. Studies have shown that β-chlorolactic acid may have immunotoxic effects on the immune response of lymphocytes and peritoneal macrophages in vitro.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-chlorolactic acid is a 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is lactic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens is replaced by a chloro group. It is a 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid and an organochlorine compound. It is functionally related to a rac-lactic acid.
