Benzyl chloroformate if heated turns into aphosgene and if it comes in contact with water it produces toxic, corrosive fumes.Benzyl chloroformate is used in
organic synthesis for the introduction of the carboxybenzyl (Cbz,Z)protecting group foramine s. It also is a carcinogen.Fact|date=December 2007External links
