Description and Uses
DCA is a corrosive, combustible, colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Molecular weight = 128.94;Specific gravity (H2O:1) = 1.56; Boiling point = 193.8℃;Freezing/Melting point = 9.7-13.5℃; Vaporpressure = 1 mmHg at 44℃; Flash point = 110℃. HazardIdentification (based on NFPA-704 M Rating System):Health 3, Flammability 1, Reactivity 1. Highly corrosive.Soluble in water.
Dichloroacetic acid is used as an intermediate to make other chemicals such as its salts and esters. It is involved as a test reagent for fiber analysis and a disinfectant. It is used to inhibit mitochondrial PDK (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase) and to shift cellular metabolism from glycolysis to glucose oxidation. Further, it is used in the treatment for post-ischemic recovery.
