3-Ethylcyclopentanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by a cyclopentane ring with an ethyl group attached at the 3-position. Its molecular formula is C8H14O, indicating the presence of eight carbon atoms, fourteen hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclopentane structure. The presence of the carbonyl group (C=O) in the ketone functional group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions. 3-Ethylcyclopentanone is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
