About this product

2-Methoxyethyl Chloride is supplied to pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturers. It is produced by alcohol chlorination with thionyl chloride, which Transpek manufactures on site. Because we are backward integrated into thionyl chloride, quality and supply continuity for this product sit within our own control rather than a supplier’s.

Downstream use

Customers use this intermediate in the synthesis of the molecules listed above. If you are working towards one of them — or a structurally related target — our technical team can advise on route, stoichiometry and handling.

Ordering and documentation

Full specification, impurity profile, safety data sheet, technical data sheet and packaging options are issued on request. Samples are available for qualification. Tell us your target volume and specification and we will confirm lead time and commercial terms.
