Trichloroacetic acid

Trichloroacetic acid can be used as a pharmaceutical raw material, herbicide (potassium trichloroacetate and sodium trichloroacetate, etc.), textile dyeing auxiliaries, metal surface treatment agents, and raw materials for acid chlorides, anhydrides, amides, polyesters, organic metal salts, salicylaldehyde, chlorocarboxylic acids, etc. In addition, in medicine, it can also be used as a corrosive agent and keratin dissolving agent, a reagent for bile pigments, a protein precipitation reagent, and other special purposes. In the field of biochemistry, it can be used as a reagent for separating and analyzing biological phosphate compounds, determining fluorides and lipids, and a fixer, decalcifying agent, and chromatographic analysis reagent for microscopic photography. In addition, salicylaldehyde compounds can be synthesized by the ReimerTiemann reaction of trichloroacetic acid and alkaline phenol, and chlorocarboxylic acids can be synthesized by the reaction of trichloroacetic acid and monoolefin compounds.
