General description

Methyl dichloroacetate undergoes base-catalyzed condensation with aliphatic α-haloaldehydes. Chlorination of methyl dichloroacetate by using trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride has been reported.

Application

Methyl dichloroacetate may be used:
  • in the diastereoselctive synthesis of bicyclic chlorocyclopropane
  • as difunctional initiator during atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl or n-butyl acrylate
  • as reagent during CrCl2-induced olefination of aldehydes
Reactant involved in:
  • Nucleophilic substitution reactions with nitro(pentafluorosulfanyl)benzenes
  • Azide-alkyl halide cycloaddition and atom transfer radical addition
  • Chemical modification of STn antigen for enhancement of synthetic carbohydrate vaccines
  • Three component reaction of arynes with cyclic ethers and active methines
  • Catalytic radical haloalkylation for synthesis of neodysidenin
  • Addition reactions for syntehsis of enantiopure 3,4-diamino esters or amides
