Methoxyacetyl chloride is a versatile building block used in the synthesis of complex organic compounds. It is also a reagent and speciality chemical that can be used in research and as a reaction component. Methoxyacetyl chloride reacts with magnesium oxide to form methoxyacetyl magnesium chloride, which can be used as a scaffold for organic synthesis. This product has CAS number 38870-89-2.

Applications Methoxyacetyl chloride Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package

Methoxyacetyl chloride is a chemical reagent that is used as a nitrosylating agent in organic chemistry. It has been shown to have receptor activity and to reduce bowel disease symptoms. Methoxyacetyl chloride is also an inhibitor of the trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) esterase, which leads to the inhibition of inflammatory responses. The TFA esterase inhibitor prevents the conversion of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins into their inactive form, leading to reduced inflammation. Methoxyacetyl chloride also has anti-inflammatory activity due to its ability to inhibit the cb2 receptor, which is responsible for immune responses in autoimmune diseases.
