Description and Uses
Methyl chloroacetate is used as a solvent and chemical intermediate. It acts as a precursor in the preparation of (carboxymethyl) trimethylammonium chloride esters. Further, it is used in the preparation of octakis-(carbethoxymethoxy)calix[8]arene. It is employed as an extraction solvent during the separation of neutral compounds. In addition to this, it is used in the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate.
