Chloroacetone is a chemical compound with the formula CH3COCH2Cl. At STP it is a colourless liquid with a pungent odour.[4] On exposure to light, it turns to a dark yellow-amber colour.[5] It was used as a tear gas in World War I.[6]


Applications

Chloroacetone is used to make dye couplers for colour photography, and is an intermediate in chemical manufacturing[3]. It is also used in the Feist-Benary synthesis of furans[7].
