(S)-(-)-2-Chloropropionic acid is a chiral intermediate primarily synthesized via asymmetric chlorination or resolution of racemic mixtures. With molecular formula C3H5ClO2 and CAS No. 96-48-0, it serves as a critical building block for pharmaceutical synthesis.
Requires storage in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear acid-resistant PPE due to corrosive properties and potential respiratory irritation upon exposure.
