2-chloroethanol Uses
2-Chloroethanol is widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticide intermediates and fine chemicals. It is a good organic solvent, and is also used in printing and electronic products for cleaning.
2-chloroethanol is a building block in the production of pharmaceuticals, biocides and plasticizers. It is also used for manufacture of thiodiglycol. It is a solvent for cellulose acetate and ethyl cellulose, textile printing dyes, extraction of pine lignin, in dewaxing, refining of rosin, and the cleaning of machines. Several dyes are prepared by the alkylation of aniline derivatives with chloroethanol.
2-Chloroethanol Synthesis and applications
2-Chloroethanol is produced by treating ethylene with hypochlorous acid:
2-Chloroethanol was once produced on a large scale as a precursor to ethylene oxide:
This application has been supplanted by the greener direct oxidation of ethylene. Otherwise chloroethanol is used in a number of specialized applications.Several dyes are prepared by the alkylation of aniline derivatives with chloroethanol. It is a building block in the production of pharmaceuticals, biocides and plasticizers. It is also used for manufacture of thiodiglycol. It is a solvent for cellulose acetate and ethyl cellulose, textile printing dyes, in dewaxing, refining of rosin, extraction of pine lignin, and the cleaning of machines.
2-chloroethanol is synthesized by three step
first step: the direct reaction of ethylene oxide and hydrochloric acid
second step: removing the water by the way of the co-boiling
third step: distillation

2-chloroethanol Safety Profile
A poison by ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, intraperitoneal, intravenous, and subcutaneous routes. Moderately toxic to humans by inhalation. It can affect the nervous system, liver, spleen, and lungs. An experimental teratogen. Mutation data reported. A severe eye and mild skin irritant. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical. Violent reaction with chlorosulfonic acid, ethylene diamine, sodium hydroxide. Reacts with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes. Potentially violent reaction with oxidizing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of Cl and phosgene.

Efficient Synthesis of (R)-2-Chloro-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanol by Permeabilized Whole Cells of Candida ontarioensis
(R)-2-Chloro-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanol is a key pharmaceutical intermediate in the synthesis of 3-adrenoceptor receptor (3-AR) agonists. The asymmetric reduction of 2-chloro-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanone to (R)-2-chloro-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanol catalyzed by resting cells of Candida ontarioensis was studied. At a substrate concentration of 10 g/L, the microbial cells showed excellent catalytic activity under the optimum reaction conditions, giving the product in 99.9% ee and 99.0% yield. After cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-pretreatment, the activity of permeabilized Candida ontarioensis cells was increased by more than 2-fold and the product could be produced over the significantly shortened reaction period of 24 h in 99.9% ee and 97.5% yield at a substrate concentration of 30 g/L. This work provides a practical approach for the efficient preparation of the important chiral intermediate (R)-2-chloro-1-(3-chlorophenyl) ethanol.
Kinetic Resolution of 2-Chloro-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethanol by Lipase-Catalyzed Transesterification
Kinetic resolution of racemic 2-chloro-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethanol was performed by free Alcaligene sp. lipase-catalyzed irreversible transesterification affording the (R)-isomer with ≧ 95% ee and the (S)-isomer with ≧ 90% ee. The activity of lipase Alcaligene sp. strongly depends on the basicity of the reaction system, and an organic base such as triethylamine can enhance the activity of the lipase and enantioselectivity markedly.

Preparation of Chiral 2-Chloro-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)ethanol by Lipase-Catalyzed Resolution and Synthesis of Optically Active Antifungal Drug
Key chiral intermediates (R)- and (S)-2-chloro-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)ethanols were prepared by kinetic resolution of the racemic mixture with Pseudomonas stutzeri lipase-catalyzed irreversible transesterification yielding (R)-alcohol and (S)-acetate, the (R)-alcohol with 95.8% ee and (S)-alcohol with 94.5% ee were obtained. And four optically active 2,4-difluoro-1-[1-(p-chlorobenzyloxy)-2-(1-imidazolyl)]ethyl- benzene nitric acid compounds possessing antifungal activity were synthesized. The results of antifungal tests in vitro by a method of filter paper disk diffusion showed that (R)-5a and (R)-5b had excellent antifungal activity against various candida species, and equal to fluconazole. Especially, 5a, 5b and their two optically active isomers have excellent antifungal efficacy against Aspergillus fumigatus that is resistant to fluconazole, moreover their (R)-isomers are more potent than their (S)-isomers and the racemate.
