(S)-(+)-2-Chlorophenylglycine Methyl Ester Hydrochloride(CAS: 213018-92-9)

(S)-(+)-2-Chlorophenylglycine Methyl Ester Hydrochloride is a white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 265.65 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents like methanol and ethanol. The compound shows moderate reactivity under acidic conditions. It is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from strong bases and reducing agents.

(S)-(+)-2-Chlorophenylglycine Methyl Ester Hydrochloride can be synthesized via the esterification of 2-chlorophenylglycine with methanol, followed by the addition of hydrochloric acid to form the hydrochloride salt. The reaction typically yields a high selectivity and good yield, with the use of a catalyst like a Lewis acid to enhance the reaction rate.

(S)-(+)-2-Chlorophenylglycine Methyl Ester Hydrochloride is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate for the synthesis of chiral compounds. It also finds applications in the polymer industry for the production of functional polymers, and in the development of sensors and semiconductors due to its chiral nature.

When handling (S)-(+)-2-Chlorophenylglycine Methyl Ester Hydrochloride, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Store the compound in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Use a fume hood during handling to minimize exposure to vapors. In case of a spill, sweep up the material carefully and dispose of it according to hazardous waste regulations. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.
