2-Chloroethanol (also called ethylene chlorohydrin or glycol chlorohydrin) is an organic chemical compound with the chemical formula ClCH2CH2OH and the simplest beta-halohydrin (chlorohydrin).Ethylene chlorohydrin: properties This colorless liquid has a pleasant ether-like odor. It is miscible with water. The molecule is bifunctional, consisting of both an alkyl chloride and an alcohol functional group.
Synthesis and applications
2-Chloroethanol is produced by treating ethylene with hypochlorous acid:

2-Chloroethanol was once produced on a large scale as a precursor to ethylene oxide:

ClCH2CH2OH + NaOH → C2H4O + NaCl + H2O
This application has been supplanted by the more economic direct oxidation of ethylene. Otherwise chloroethanol is still used in the production of pharmaceuticals, biocides, and plasticizers.Gordon Y. T. Liu W. Frank Richey Joanne E. Betso Brian Hughes Joanna Klapacz Joerg Lindner 3 Chlorohydrins 2014 10.1002/14356007.a06_565.pub2 Many of these applications entail its use in installing 2-hydroxyethyl groups.Organic Syntheses Butler J Kellogg R Synthesis of Macrocyclic Sulfides Using Cesium Thiolates: 1,4,8,11-Tetrathiacyclotetradecane 1987 65 150 150 10.15227/orgsyn.065.0150 free Several dyes are prepared by the alkylation of aniline derivatives with chloroethanol.Roderich Raue John F. Corbett Nitro and Nitroso Dyes 2002 10.1002/14356007.a17_383 It is also used for manufacture of thiodiglycol.
It is a solvent for cellulose acetate and ethyl cellulose, textile printing dyes, in dewaxing, refining of rosin, extraction of pine lignin, and the cleaning of machines.
Environmental aspects
Chloroethanol is a metabolite in the degradation of 1,2-dichloroethane. The alcohol is then further oxidized via chloroacetaldehyde to chloroacetate. This metabolic pathway is topical since billions of kilograms of 1,2-dichloroethane are processed annually as a precursor to vinyl chloride. Janssen D. B. van der Ploeg J. R.

Safety
2-Chloroethanol is toxic with an of 89 mg/kg in rats. Like most organochlorine compounds, chloroethanol releases hydrochloric acid and phosgene when burned.
In regards to dermal exposure to 2-chloroethanol, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has set a permissible exposure limit of 5ppm (16mg/m3) over an eight-hour time-weighted average, while the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has a more protective recommended exposure limit of a 1ppm (3mg/m3) exposure ceiling.CDC - NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards
It is classified as an extremely hazardous substance in the United States as defined in Section 302 of the U.S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (42 U.S.C. 11002), and is subject to strict reporting requirements by facilities which produce, store, or use it in significant quantities.Government Printing Office Code of Federal Regulations 40 C.F.R.: Appendix A to Part 355—The List of Extremely Hazardous Substances and Their Threshold Planning Quantities http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/julqtr/pdf/40cfr355AppA.pdf July 1, 2008 October 29, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051612/http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/julqtr/pdf/40cfr355AppA.pdf February 25, 2012February 2020
