Description

2-(2-Chloro Ethoxy) Ethyl Acetate is a versatile organic ester compound with a chlorinated ethoxy side chain, serving as a valuable intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, combining an ester group with a reactive chloroethoxy moiety, makes it a critical building block for creating complex molecules with tailored properties. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries seeking to develop new active ingredients or functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for compounds requiring ether and ester linkages.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where its chlorinated side chain introduces specific biological activity.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Acts as a reactive monomer or plasticizer precursor to modify the flexibility, solubility, or adhesion properties of specialty polymers and coatings.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Serves as a protected or activated form of glycol derivatives in multi-step organic reactions for fine chemicals and fragrances.
• Surface Active Agent Precursor: Intermediate in the manufacture of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and formulation chemistry.

Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Chloro Ethoxy) Ethyl Acetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. For customers with specific regulatory needs, we can support documentation requirements and discuss custom purity grades tailored to your synthesis process.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and prevent volatilization.
