About mono-Chloroacetic acid, GR 99%+

mono-Chloroacetic acid is a carboxylic acid in AR grade carrying the CAS registry number 79-11-8 at a purity of ≥99%. Formula C2H3ClO2, molecular weight 94.5 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2-chloroacetic acid. Alternative names: Chloroacetic acid and Chloroethanoic acid.

It is supplied as a solid. Literature values give a melting point of 60-63 °C and a boiling point of 189 °C. Keep the container tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry area. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for organic synthesis, pharmaceutical synthesis, dyes and pigments manufacture and food and flavour applications. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing, academic and industrial research and textiles and dyeing.

Standard pack sizes are 500 g, 5 kg and 4 x 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
