Monochloroacetic acid plays a major role in daily lives

Monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) plays a major role in the manufacture of many products which are well-known and important in our daily lives.The most noteworthy characteristic of this chemical intermediate is its bifunc-tional reactivity.MCAA is used in manufacturing a variety of products including herbicides and pharma-ceuticals, anesthetics, tranquilizers and amphoteric surfactants,which are cleansing agents used in shampoos.

As indicated,Monochloroacetic acid and its alkali salts can be used in the manufacture of a wide variety of chemical products.For example,MCAA is converted to sodium chloroac etate and then reacted with alkali cellulose to produce carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).CMC is used in a broad range of applications,including detergents,food,textiles,coatings,drilling muds,pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Another common end use forMonochloroacetic acid is in the productionof phenoxy herbicides.For instance,MCAA is convertedto sodium chloroacetate and then reacted with 2,4- dichlorophenol to produce 2,4-dichlorophenoxyaceticacid (2,4-D).Additional applications for chemicals derived from MCAA include pharmaceuticals,plastic additives and cosmetics.
