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
- Glycine
- Surfactants
- Indigo dyes
- Herbicides
