Methyl perchlorate is an organic chemical compound with the chemical formula CH
3ClO
4. Its molecular structure is a methyl group covalently bonded by a single bond to a perchlorate group, CH
3–O–Cl(=O)
3, in which chlorine has an oxidation state of +7. Like many other perchlorates, it is a high energy material, more explosive than methyl nitrate.[2] It is also a toxic alkylating agent and exposure to the vapor can cause death.[3]
It can be prepared by treating iodomethane with a solution of silver perchlorate in benzene,[citation needed] distillation of barium methylsulfate and barium perchlorate, or bubbling diazomethane into anhydrous perchloric acid.[2]
