tert-Butyl chloroacetate is used in the synthesis of imidazol-1-yl-acetic acid hydrochloride, cis-disubstituted aziridine ester via aza-Darzens reaction and 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 based sensors bearing a coumarin fluorophore.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
tert-Butyl chloroacetate is used in the synthesis of imidazol-1-yl-acetic acid hydrochloride, cis-disubstituted aziridine ester via aza-Darzens reaction and 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 based sensors bearing a coumarin fluorophore.

Solubility
Decomposes in water.

Notes
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Moisture sensitive. Incompatible with strong bases and strong oxidizing agents.
