TCI C1553 Ethyl 2-(chloromethyl)acrylate is a bifunctional reagent combining a conjugated acrylate ester with a highly reactive allylic chloromethyl group, supplied stabilized with hydroquinone. The chloromethyl group readily undergoes substitution with nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and carbon nucleophiles, while the activated double bond remains available for conjugate addition and cycloaddition chemistry. This dual reactivity makes it a popular precursor for α-methylene lactones and lactams, as well as for functional polymer research. AMI Scientific offers this TCI reagent in a 1 g pack, and it should be kept cool, dark, and away from heat so that the stabilizer remains effective.
