Application
Chloroacetic anhydride has been used in the synthesis of:
- 3,3′-bis(sulfonato)-4,4′-bis(chloroacetamido)azobenzene (BSBCA), a water-soluble, thiol-reactive and photo-switchable cross-linker
- D,L-7-azatryptophan (D,L-7AW)
- 2-methyl-[3,4-di-O-acetyl-6-O-(chloroacetyl)-1,2-dideoxy-α-D-glucopyrano]-[2′,1′:4,5]-2-oxazoline

The use of the chloroacetyl group as a protecting group has been studied for a 2-methylglyco-[2',1':4,5]-2-oxazoline. The reaction of chloroacetyl chloride or chloroacetic anhydride with 2-acetamido-1,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose provided 2-acetamido-1,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-O-(chloroacetyl)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose which, on treatment with anhydrous ferric chloride in dichloromethane, produced the desired

The reaction of D,L-7-azatryptophan (D,L-7AW) with tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and Mg2+ in the presence of inorganic pyrophosphatase results in the formation of a highly fluorescent l-7AW-adenylate complex. Detection of this complex is based on its enhanced fluorescence
