General description
2-Chloro-N-(hydroxymethyl)acetamide (N-methylolchloracetamide) is a N-hydroxymethyl derivative of chloroacetamide. One of the method reported for its synthesis is by the reaction of 2-chloracetamide with formaldehyde. It has been reported to be a formaldehyde releaser and an infrequent sensitizer to formaldehyde contact allergy. Influence of short and prolonged exposure of 2-chloro-N-(hydroxymethyl)acetamide (as formaldehyde donor/releaser) on lymph node responses has been investigated.
Application
2-Chloro-N-(hydroxymethyl)acetamide (N-hydroxymethylchloroacetamide) may be used as a reagent in the synthesis of 1-(aminomethyl)-2-methoxynaphthalene hydrochloride and as a amidomethylating reagent for N,N-dialkylanilines (Tscherniac-Einhorn reaction).

The industrial biocide chloracetamide-N-metholol (CAM) has been shown to be non-mutagenic to 6 strains of Salmonella using both the plate-incorporation and a pre-incubation test protocol. Its biocidal activity is unlikely to have influenced these results since Kathon 886, a more

In our continuation of the structure-based design of anti-trypanosomatid drugs, parasite-selective adenosine analogues were identified as low micromolar inhibitors of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Crystal structures of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania mexicana, and human GAPDH's provided details of how the
