Uses
Other
- Key chemical intermediate related to chloroacetyl chloride
Natural occurrence
- does not occur naturally
Hazards
- Toxic by skin exposure, inhalation, ingestion. Hospitalization likely
Production
Synthesis
- Combine acetic acid and chlorine gas in a catalytic solution of acetic anhydride
- CH3COOH + Cl2{(CH3CO)2OClCH2COOH + HCl}→
- CH3COOH + Cl2
- Hydrolyze trichloroethylene using 75% sulfuric acid
- C2HCl3 + 2 H2O{H2SO4ClCH2COOH + 2 HCl130-140°C}→
- C2HCl3 + 2 H2O
