Sodium Chloroacetate (also known as Chloro‑aceticacisodiumsalt) has the formula C₂H₂ClNaO₂ and CAS No. 3926‑62‑3 fishersci.com+11en.wikipedia.org+11tera.org+11. It appears as a white, hygroscopic crystalline powder, soluble in water (~440–820 g/L at 20 °C) and many organic solvents de.wikipedia.org+2chemicalbook.com+2atamanchemicals.com+2. Its density is ~1.4–1.87 g/cm³ with melting/decomposition above 150 °C cdhfinechemical.com+10en.wikipedia.org+10chemicalbook.com+10.
Sodium Monochloroacetate is manufactured by neutralizing chloroacetic acid with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide:
2 CH₂ClCOOH + Na₂CO₃ → 2 CH₂ClCOONa + H₂O + CO₂ echa.europa.eu+4zh.wikipedia.org+4de.wikipedia.org+4.
Alternatively, sodium hydroxide can be used, though carbonate is preferred industrially for cost‑effectiveness chemspider.com+1mubychem.com+1.
Sodium Chloroacetate acts as a potent alkylating agent, introducing the –CH₂CO₂⁻ group into nucleophiles . Common applications include:
Synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) used in adhesives, textiles cdhfinechemical.com+4en.wikipedia.org+4thermofisher.com+4.
As precursor to herbicides (e.g., dimethoate), pharmaceuticals, dyes, polymers, thioglycolic acid, cyanoacetate, malonic acid en.wikipedia.org+1atamanchemicals.com+1.
As reagent in fine‑chemical and laboratory syntheses in Organic Syntheses en.wikipedia.org.
Sodium Chloroacetate is non‑flammable but decomposes to corrosive/toxic gases when heated atamanchemicals.com+15cameochemicals.noaa.gov+15mubychem.com+15. It is moderately toxic orally and via inhalation, causes skin irritation, and is very toxic to aquatic life pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+2assets.thermofisher.com+2thermofisher.com+2.
Due to its high solubility and mobility in water, SMCA can spread in soil and aquatic systems; it is toxic to aquatic organisms and should not enter drains assets.thermofisher.com+1atamanchemicals.com+1. Hazard handling protocols include spill containment using absorbents and protective equipment under adequate ventilation cdhfinechemical.com.
Store Sodium Chloroacetate in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated area in tightly sealed containers, away from oxidizers and heat sources fishersci.com+2mubychem.com+2cameochemicals.noaa.gov+2. It is classified as UN 2659, Hazard Class 6.1, Packing Group III for transport under DOT/IATA/IMDG regulations atamanchemicals.com+5fishersci.com+5fishersci.com+5.
