Isopropyl chloroformate is a chemical compound from the group of substituted carbonic acid esters and organic chlorine compounds .

properties

Isopropyl chloroformate is a volatile, colorless to yellowish liquid with a pungent odor, which decomposes in water. The technical product is supplied in solution with toluene .

nomenclature

The common name "isopropyl chloroformate" is incorrect, as it is a derivative of carbonic acid , not a derivative of formic acid . This is the monochloride and at the same time the monoisopropyl ester of carbonic acid.

use

Isopropyl chloroformate is used to make other chemical compounds (e.g. dinobutone ).

safety instructions

The vapors of isopropyl chloroformate can form an explosive mixture with air ( flash point 17 ° C).
