|  |  | Trichloroethanol Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | CLEAR COLOURLESS TO LIGHT YELLOW LIQUID |  | Uses | The 2,2,2-Trichloroethyl (TCE) moiety of 2,2,2-trichloroethanol is mainly used as a protecting group for acids, acetals and also phosphoryl groups of nucleotides. It can be easily cleaved by zinc reduction. Some of its other application include:
 
 Conversion of per-O-acetylated sugars to per-O-acetylated trichloroethyl derivatives.Preparation of TCE ester of chlorosulfuric acid.Preparation of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl acetimidate hydrochloride.
 
 |  | Uses | Intermediate, anesthetic. |  | Uses | 2,2,2-Trichloroethanol (TCE) is an active metabolite of Trichloroacetaldehyde monohydrate [chloral hydrate (CH)] (T774055), a sedative/hypnotic that increases cerebral blood flow (CBF). |  | Definition | ChEBI: 2,2,2-trichloroethanol is a chloroethanol. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. |  | Safety Profile | Poison by intravenous andintraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion andrectal routes. Human mutation data reported. Explosivereaction with concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes ofClí. Us |
