Description

1. Chemical Properties and Classification

Dichloroacetic Acid (DCA) is an organic compound that has the chemical formula C2 H 2 Cl 2O 2, a weight molecular of 128,94 and a CAS code of 79-43-6.

Dichloroacetic Acid is a carboxylic acid compound that has halogenated structure. Its molecular composition is based on acetic acids methyl group, but two chlorine atoms are substituted for two hydrogen atoms.



It is an organic acid that is strong and has a dissociation constant (pKa) of 1.48.
Its acidity is also much higher than acetic.



2. Physical characteristics and morphology

Different sources have different descriptions of the physical form Dichloroacetic Acid: Some sources describe it a as a clear liquid with a melting temperature of 9-11 degrees C and a boiling temperature of 194 degrees C. It has a density of 1.56 grams/cm3.

Dichloroacetic Acid has a strong acidic smell and is soluble in ethanol, water and ether. Its chemical properties include being active, corrosive and capable of reacting to water, steam and strong oxidants.




3. Background to industry positioning and preparation

The first time it was synthesized, in 1864, by further chlorinating chloroacetic acids.

Its main industrial production methods are hydrolysis, oxidation, and pentachloroethane hydrolysis. It is used in a variety of fields, including medicine, dyes, pesticides and analytical chemistry. Dichloroacetic Acid is a by-product of the chlorination of drinking water.
The US Environmental Protection Agency lists it as a potential human carcinogen.

The application of Dichloroacetic acid

Dichloroacetic Acid: Its main applications

A strong organic intermediate with high reactivity and acidity, dichloroacetic is used in pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and clinical medicine.

In the field medicine and clinical treatment
Dichloroacetic Acid is used in medicine for a variety of purposes. First, the sodium salt (Dichloroacetic Acid sodium) is used in clinical practice to treat congenital lactosis, which is a rare metabolic disorder, by inhibiting the pyruvate-dehydrogenase-kinase enzyme to reduce lactate. Dichloroacetic Acid is also used in dermatological treatments to remove warts and moles.
It has a strong exfoliating and protein coagulation effect. It can be used to treat warts and other skin growths. Its effects are similar to those of electrocautery and cryotherapy. Dichloroacetic Acid and its Salts are also attracting widespread attention as anti-tumor agents, with studies looking at their potential therapeutic benefits for solid tumors like brain cancer.


Fine chemical industry and organic synthesis
Dichloroacetic Acid is a cornerstone in the chemical industry for building complex molecules.
It is an important precursor in the synthesis glyoxylic acids, which are widely used as intermediates in perfumes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used in the production of agricultural chemicals, such as alkoxyl, aryloxy, sulfonamides, and herbicides. Dichloroacetic Acid is also used in the dye industry as an intermediary for synthesizing specific dyes.


Special applications and Analysis Field
Dichloroacetic Acid can be used in industrial applications as an analytical reagent. For example, it is an additive for the production of PET fibers.
Iron chelates from dichloroacetic acid are also used in agriculture as micronutrients. In laboratory research, dichloroacetic is still used as a chemical reagent.

Dichloroacetic Acid is used in industrial and pharmaceutical applications to demonstrate the value of carboxylic acids containing halogens. Not only is it a chemical raw material used to synthesize acetic and herbicides but also a drug that can be used in the clinic for lactic acidosis or skin tumors. As a disinfection-byproduct of drinking water it has also attracted widespread attention for its potential health hazards and environmental pollution.

FAQ

It is a core pharmaceutical intermediate widely used in anti-tumor related research, metabolic drugs, antifungal raw materials, and the synthesis of various heterocyclic small molecule APIs. It is also widely used in biochemical detection reagents.

It has strong acidity and corrosiveness, and is prone to moisture absorption. Store in a sealed, cool, and dark place, away from metals and alkaline substances. Transportation belongs to the category of hazardous chemicals, and we can provide a complete set of compliant hazardous packaging documents.

The mainstream purity of industrial and pharmaceutical grade is ≥ 99.0%, with strict control over moisture, color, and free impurities, fully meeting the requirements of small-scale, pilot, and industrial batch production for pharmaceutical companies.

 Not universal. Monochloroacetic acid focuses on daily chemicals and pesticides; Trichloroacetic acid is commonly used for protein precipitation and stripping; Dichloroacetic acid is an exclusive pharmaceutical research and high-end pharmaceutical intermediate, with significant differences in reaction activity.
