Description :

Overview of 2-Chloroethanol

2-Chloroethanol is a colourless, flammable liquid with a mild alcoholic odour, widely used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of ethylene oxide, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and solvents. It is valued for its reactivity and versatility in organic synthesis, particularly in producing ethylene glycol derivatives and other industrial chemicals.

In industrial applications, 2-Chloroethanol is prized for its high purity, controlled reactivity, and reliable performance. It is often used alongside Ethylene Glycol, Chloroacetyl Chloride, Acetaldehyde, and Ethylene Dichloride, available on ChemicalBull, providing a complete solution for chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediates, and industrial manufacturing processes.
