  Benzyl 2-chloroacetate is a colorless, slightly viscous liquid. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and
oils. Sp.Gr = 1.22. Mild, Jasmin-type odor, floral-fruity, of
considerable tenacity. |  [Uses]
 
 Benzyl chloroacetate may be used:
 - in the synthesis of monoesters of phosphonoacetic acid
 - in the synthesis of N-benzoyl-glycyl- hydroxyl acetic acid, ester substrate for carboxypeptidase Y catalyzed peptide synthesis
 - as reagent in the total syntheses of the (±)-di-O-methyl ethers of the norlignans sequirin-A, agatharesinol, and hinokiresinol, and of (±)-tri-O-methyl sequirin-E
 
   |  [Preparation]
  From Benzyl alcohol and Monochloroacetic acid by direct esterification under azeotropic conditions. |  [General Description]
 
 Benzyl chloroacetate is an ester.  |  [Safety Profile]
  Moderately toxic byintraperitoneal route.  When heated todecomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl- . |
