Octanoic acid, 8-chloro-6-hydroxy-, ethyl ester

Description:

Octanoic acid, 8-chloro-6-hydroxy-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 1070-65-1, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of fatty acid esters. It is characterized by the presence of an octanoic acid backbone, which is an eight-carbon saturated fatty acid, modified by the presence of a chlorine atom at the 8th position and a hydroxyl group at the 6th position. The ethyl ester functional group indicates that the carboxylic acid has been esterified with ethanol. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the chlorine and hydroxyl groups may impart unique chemical reactivity, making it of interest in various chemical synthesis and applications. Additionally, its structural features suggest potential uses in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as a surfactant, although specific applications would depend on further research into its properties and behavior in different environments.
