Applications
Chloroacetone was used in the synthesis of double-chain nonionic surfactants with an acid decomposition function via acid-catalyzed condensation with fatty alcohols (octyl, decyl and dodecyl). It was also used in the synthesis of meso-tetramethyl tetrakis-(4-phenoxy acetone)calix[4]pyrrole. It can also be used to make dye couplers for color photography and used in the Feist-Benary synthesis of furans.

Solubility
Soluble in water (124g/L), ether and chloroform.

Notes
Refrigerate. Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Do not store together with strong basic or oxidizing materials.
