General description

Dichloroacetic anhydride is an acylating agent and was evaluated for inducing autoimmune responses.

Application

Dichloroacetic anhydride was employed as an acylating agent for acylation of 10-Deacetylbaccatin III using Pseudomonas cepacia. It was also used in the preparation of cellulose dichloroacetates.

Dichloroacetyl chloride (DCAC) is formed from trichloroethene (TCE), which is implicated in inducing/accelerating autoimmune response. Due to its potent acylating activity, DCAC may convert proteins to neo-antigens and thus could induce autoimmune responses. Dichloroacetic anhydride (DCAA), which is a similar
