Application

Propyl chloroformate is an important organic synthesis intermediate, mainly used in the following fields:
Synthesis of fungicides:
Propyl chloroformate is a key intermediate of the fungicide fipronil, used to prepare low toxicity fungicides with local systemic absorption, and has specific effects on oomycetes fungi. ‌
Organic synthesis reagents:
Propyl chloroformate can undergo condensation reactions with organic amines and imidazole derivatives to form amino esters or imidazolium salts, which are used to prepare fine chemicals such as photosensitizers and polymerization catalysts. ‌
Analytical application:
In solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography analysis, Propyl chloroformate is used as a derivatization reagent to determine substances such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in human urine.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry and ventilated place. Keep away from sources of fire, heat, and direct sunlight. Avoid coexisting with substances such as acids, bases, alcohols, amines, etc.
