1-Chloroethyl isopropyl carbonate(CAT: L019861) is an organic carbonate ester featuring a chloroethyl moiety linked to an isopropyl carbonate group. It typically appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid and is used primarily as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis. The chloroethyl functionality imparts strong alkylating properties, making it valuable in introducing protected hydroxyl or amino groups, or in preparing prodrugs and specialty intermediates. Its reactivity allows participation in substitution and elimination reactions under mild conditions.
