TCI C1395 1-Chloroethyl Chloroformate (CAS 50893-53-3), often abbreviated ACE-Cl, is a highly reactive chloroformate reagent for amine chemistry. It is best known for the selective demethylation of tertiary amines, proceeding through a 1-chloroethyl carbamate that is cleaved on heating in methanol. The reagent is also used to install carbamate protecting groups and to prepare carbonate-based prodrug intermediates. AMI Scientific offers 25 g and 250 g packs; the material is moisture-sensitive and should be handled with anhydrous technique in a fume hood.
