China and India are the leading exporters of Trichloroacetyl chloride (CAS 76-02-8), collectively accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable over the past three years, with modest upward pressure on Trichloroacetyl chloride prices reflecting tightening supply from key Asian producers.
Trichloroacetyl chloride is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent, acrid odor and high volatility. It is a reactive aliphatic acyl chloride, characterized by a boiling point of approximately 118–120 °C and a melting point near −16 °C. As a highly electrophilic intermediate, it is primarily employed in organic synthesis for introducing the trichloroacetyl group. Its principal industrial applications include the production of pharmaceuticals (e.g., certain antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents), agrochemicals (such as herbicides and fungicides), and specialty dyes. It is also used in the synthesis of fluorinated compounds and as a reagent in polymer modification and surface treatment chemistry.
Trichloroacetyl chloride can be used for the manufacture of the esters and the anhydrides of trichloroacetic acid.
