Chloromethyl Isopropyl Carbonate CAS 35180-01-9

1. Chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate CAS 35180-01-9 is primarily used as an alkylating and carboxymethylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
2. Chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate serves as a protecting group reagent for alcohols and other functional groups in multi-step synthetic sequences.
3. This compound is also utilized in polymer chemistry and materials science as a reactive monomer or cross-linking agent.

1. Store chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate CAS 35180-01-9 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, under an inert atmosphere if possible, and away from heat, moisture, and incompatible materials. **Refrigeration is often required due to instability.**
2. Keep Chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate the container tightly sealed, clearly labeled, and separated from strong bases, oxidizing agents, nucleophiles, and metals.
3. Handle with extreme caution using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE): chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, face shield, and a lab coat. **Always use a fume hood** to avoid inhalation of vapors.

1. Immediately evacuate and isolate the area. Ensure ventilation and wear full protective gear (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, respirator suitable for organic vapors/chlorides).
2. **Do NOT use water.** Carefully absorb Chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate with an inert, dry, non-combustible material (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Place all contaminated material in a sealed, labeled hazardous waste container.
3. Prevent the compound from entering drains, sewers, or the environment. Decontaminate surfaces with an appropriate non-aqueous solvent. Seek expert assistance for cleanup.

1. Chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate CAS 35180-01-9 is **TOXIC, CORROSIVE, and a POTENT LACHRYMATOR**. It causes severe skin burns, eye damage, respiratory damage, and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. It decomposes to release toxic gases (hydrogen chloride, phosgene, carbon monoxide).
2. Chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate is flammable and its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. It is unstable and may decompose exothermically, especially when impure, heated, or in contact with moisture or nucleophiles.
3. **This compound is highly hazardous.** Always consult the official chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and handle it only by trained personnel under strictly controlled conditions.
