Description

General description

Chloroacetyl chloride causes the acylation of cyano-pyrazoline during the synthesis of secondary amine-substituted cyano-pyrazoline derivatives.

Application

Chloroacetyl chloride can be used for chloroacetylation and chemical modification of poly(glycidyl methacrylate). Chloroacetyl chloride was used to study the in vitro metabolism of chloroacetamide herbicides by rat and human liver microsomes. Chloroacetyl chloride was used in the synthesis of some novel quinoline derivatives having antileishmanial activity.
