MCA (Mono chloroacetic acid)
MCA (Mono chloroacetic acid), with the chemical formula CClH2COOH, is a carboxylic acid formed by combining chlorine with acetic acid. It is a colorless and amorphous solid. MCA is highly soluble in water and also in more organic solvents, it is expected, as its structural formula suggests, to be useful with groups that are likely to react. Pure MCA or mono chloroacetic acid is available in molten state as flakes or dissolved in water, ethanol and methanol. At room temperature, MCA solids appear as a hydroscopic crystalline substance with a distinct acidic odor.
