'''Chloroacetaldehyde''' is the ] with the formula ClCH<sub>2</sub>CHO. Like some related compounds, it is highly electrophilic reagent and a potentially dangerous ]. The compound is not normally encountered in the ] form, but rather as the hydrate (]), ClCH<sub>2</sub>CH(OH)<sub>2</sub>. Chloroacetaldehyde is a useful intermediate in the synthesis, e.g. of 2-aminothiazole or many pharmaceutical compounds. '''Chloroacetaldehyde''' is an ] with the formula ClCH<sub>2</sub>CHO. Like some related compounds, it is highly electrophilic reagent and a potentially dangerous ]. The compound is not normally encountered in the ] form, but rather as the ] (ClCH<sub>2</sub>CH(OH))<sub>2</sub>O.
Another use is to facilitate bark removal from tree trunks.


Chloroacetaldehyde is a metabolite of the antineoplastic ] and believed to be responsible for some of the toxicity observed with ifosfamide.
==Synthesis and reactions==
