DESCRIPTION

General description

Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is a chlorinated acetic acid that has been reported to be a mouse liver carcinogen.[1] The varying degrees of swelling of polyester in different concentrations of DCA solution has been analyzed by phase-contrast microscopy.[2] The efficiency of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles to catalyze the photodegradation of DCA has been investigated.[3]

Application

Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) can be used as:

A reactant in the synthesis of chloroketones by reacting with esters in the presence of LiHMDS via Claisen-type homologation reaction.[4]

A structure-directing agent, solvent, or plastdopant for the preparation of different morphologies of polyaniline (PANI). Self-assembling nanostructured PANI may be formed due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonding between DCA and aniline/polyaniline. [5]
