Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2-chloropropionic acid
EC Number:
209-952-3
EC Name:
2-chloropropionic acid
Cas Number:
598-78-7
Molecular formula:
C3H5ClO2
IUPAC Name:
2-chloropropanoic acid
Details on test material:
The substance in the cited reference is 2-Chloropropionic acid, the racemate of L-2-Chloropropionic acid. The physical properties of optical enantiomers are not distinguishable and with regard to physical properties they are considered equivalent. The corrosivity of a substance is often related to the pH, which is also independant of chirality.
No details on the purity or source of the 2-chloropropionic acid are given in the reference.
