CAS 1001-89-4: 2-Chloroheptane

Description: 2-Chloroheptane is an organic compound classified as a haloalkane, specifically a chlorinated alkane. Its molecular formula is C7H15Cl, indicating it consists of seven carbon atoms, fifteen hydrogen atoms, and one chlorine atom. This compound is characterized by a straight-chain structure where the chlorine atom is attached to the second carbon of the heptane chain. 2-Chloroheptane is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic odor. It is relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents but less soluble in water. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces reactivity, allowing it to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, which are common in haloalkanes. 2-Chloroheptane can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may also serve as a solvent or reagent in various chemical reactions. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and it may cause skin irritation. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate environmental impact.
