:Butanoyl chloride, 2-methyl-, (2R)-
Description:
Butanoyl chloride, 2-methyl-, (2R)-, also known as 2-methylbutanoyl chloride, is an acyl chloride characterized by its reactivity and distinct structural features. It is derived from 2-methylbutanoic acid, where the hydroxyl group is replaced by a chlorine atom, resulting in a compound that is highly reactive towards nucleophiles. This substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its acyl chloride nature. It is soluble in organic solvents but reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrochloric acid and the corresponding carboxylic acid. The compound is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters and amides, and serves as an important intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to its reactivity, it requires careful handling and storage under inert conditions to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Safety precautions are essential, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
