Abstract:2-Chloroethanol (HOCH 2 CH 2 Cl) is the smallest terrestrially stable chlorohydrin and is predicted to exist in the interstellar medium, forming from HCl with either oxirane or ethylene glycol, each of which are known interstellar constituents. Rotational a and ro-vibrational b, c spectra of 2-chloroethanol have been previously reported from 9-40 GHz and 100-500 cm −1 , respectively. However, attempts at the detection of 2-chloroethanol towards Sgr B2(N) have been unsuccessful. It is uncertain if the lack of d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
