DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS

Monochloroacetic acid, chlorinated simplest carboxylic acid, has electron-withdrawing atoms on the next carbon to acid. Alha-chlorine makes monochloroacetic acid more acidic than acetic acid. Chloroacetic acid is more acidic than acetic acid. The more electronegative atom presence tends to strengthen the acidic property. Trichloroacetic acid is stronger than monochloroacetic acid. Monochloroacetic acid and its derivatives are used as one of the first choice chemical intermediates for the production of;

  • Carboxy Methyl Cellulose and Starch
  • Phenoxyacetic Acid
  • Thioglycolic Acid
  • Cyanoacetic Acid / Malonates / Barbituric Acid
  • Caffeine, Betaine, Vitamin B and pharmaceuticals
