About Methyl Chloroformate
Methyl Chloroformate
Methyl chloroformate is the methyl ester of chloroformic acid. It is also known as methyl chlorocarbonate, and is an oily liquid with a colour that is anywhere from yellow to colorless. It is also known for its pungent odour. Methyl chloroformate, if heated, releases phosgene and produces toxic, corrosive fumes if it comes in contact with water.
Methyl chloroformate is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the methoxycarbonyl functionality to a suitable nucleophile.

Versatile Intermediate in Chemical Synthesis
Methyl Chloroformate serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and fine chemicals. It is primarily used for methylation, preparation of methyl esters, and as an acylating agent. Its high purity and reactivity make it a preferred choice for research laboratories and industrial processes needing reliable and efficient reagents.
Safe Storage and Handling
Because Methyl Chloroformate is toxic and reacts with moisture, it is supplied in sealed containers and should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from atmospheric moisture. Handling must be performed under a fume hood with suitable protective gear to prevent accidental exposure and degradation of the chemical.
FAQs of Methyl Chloroformate:
Q: How should Methyl Chloroformate be handled and stored safely?
A: Methyl Chloroformate must be used under a fume hood with suitable protective equipment, such as gloves and safety goggles. It should be stored sealed in HDPE drums or glass bottles, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, always away from moisture and incompatible materials.Q: What are the primary applications of Methyl Chloroformate?
A: This compound is mainly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It functions as a methylating and acylating agent, particularly useful in the preparation of methyl esters.Q: When does Methyl Chloroformate decompose, and how does this affect its use?
A: Methyl Chloroformate decomposes on exposure to moisture and air, which can compromise its effectiveness and safety. Therefore, it is crucial to handle and dispense the product quickly and seal it immediately after use.Q: Where is Methyl Chloroformate typically used?
A: It is widely utilized in chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries, as well as research laboratories where precise organic synthesis is required.Q: What is the process for using Methyl Chloroformate in methylation reactions?
A: During methylation, Methyl Chloroformate is introduced as a reactant under controlled conditions, typically in the presence of dry organic solvents and moisture-free environments to ensure optimal reactivity and yield.Q: What are the benefits of using high-purity Methyl Chloroformate?
A: High-purity Methyl Chloroformate (98%) ensures more consistent results in synthesis, reduces side reactions, and improves overall process yields, making it advantageous for demanding chemical and pharmaceutical applications.
