Methyl Trichloroacetate CAS 598-99-2 Purity >99.0% (GC)

Methyl Trichloroacetate (CAS: 598-99-2) was used for negative staining of protein that allowed unmodified proteins to be recovered for biological studies or transblot for amino acid sequence. Contact may slightly irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals. Methyl Trichloroacetate is a reactive chemical that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. It has been shown to react with nucleophiles, such as hydroxyl groups, to form a copper complex. 

Health Hazard: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Reaction with water or moist air will release toxic, corrosive or flammable gases. Reaction with water may generate much heat that will increase the concentration of fumes in the air. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
