Methyl 2-chloroacrylate is a colorless liquid used in manufacture of acrylic high polymer similar to polymethylmethacrylate. It is also used as a monomer for certain specialty polymers.[2]
Methyl 2-chloroacrylate is polymerizable, insoluble in water, and a skin, eye, and lung irritant. Inhalation of vapors causes pulmonary edema. Trace amounts on the skin cause large blisters.[1]
2-Aminothiazoline-4-carboxylic acid, an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of L-cysteine, is produced by the reaction of thiourea with methyl 2-chloroacrylate.[3]
