Methyl perchlorate is an organic chemical compound with the chemical formula C H₃Cl O₄. Its molecular structure is a methyl group covalently bonded by a single bond to a perchlorate group, CH₃−O−Cl(=O)₃, in which chlorine has an oxidation state of +7. Like many other perchlorates, it is a high energy material. It is also a toxic alkylating agent and exposure to the vapor can cause death.^[2] It can be prepared by treating iodomethane with a solution of silver perchlorate in benzene.
