:

ethyl 6-chlorohexanoate

Description:
Ethyl 6-chlorohexanoate, with the CAS number 10140-96-2, is an ester derived from hexanoic acid and ethanol, characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom at the sixth carbon position of the hexanoate chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, which is common among esters. It is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Ethyl 6-chlorohexanoate is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the chlorine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
