Product Concept

2-Methoxyethyl Chloride (CAS 627-42-9) is a highly reactive alkyl halide compound featuring a unique combination of ether and chloroalkyl functional groups. This bifunctional molecule serves as a critical building block in organic synthesis, offering dual reactivity for nucleophilic substitution and ether formation. With its molecular formula C₃H₇ClO and molecular weight of 94.54 g/mol, this clear, colorless liquid demonstrates excellent solubility in common organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, acetone) while maintaining moderate water solubility (≈50 g/L at 20°C). Its balanced lipophilicity (logP = 0.89) and low viscosity make it an ideal reagent for both laboratory-scale and industrial applications.
