1,3-Dichloroacetone (CAS 534-07-6) is a chlorinated ketone used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemical production. It is also used as a starting material for citric acid synthesis via reaction with cyanide, particularly from glycerol-derived feedstock, and as a solvent. It serves as a key building block in the manufacture of dyes, pesticides, and fine chemicals due to its reactive chloromethyl group. Catalogue details: Molecular formula C3H4Cl2O, molecular weight 126.97 g/mol, and requires refrigerated storage at 2–8°C. It carries a **Danger** signal word under GHS classification due to its hazardous properties. Molekula supplies 1,3-Dichloroacetone from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
