Description

Chloroacetic acid is the organochlorine compound with the formula ClCH2CO2H. This carboxylic acid is a useful building block in organic synthesis.

Like other chloroacetic acids and related halocarbons, chloroacetic acid is a potentially dangerous alkylating agent. Chloroacetic acid easily penetrates skin and mucous membranes and interferes with cellular energy production. Initial dermal exposure to high concentrations (e.g., 80% solution) may not appear very damaging at first, however systemic poisoning may present within hours. Exposure can be fatal if greater than 6% body surface area is exposed to chloroacetic acid. The sodium salt does not penetrate the skin as well as the acid but can be as damaging given a longer duration and greater surface area of exposure Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
