METHYL 2-CHLORO-3-OXOPENTANOATE

Description:
Methyl 2-chloro-3-oxopentanoate, with the CAS number 114192-09-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of a chlorine atom. It features a five-carbon chain with a ketone functional group at the third position and a chlorine substituent at the second position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. Methyl 2-chloro-3-oxopentanoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the chlorine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to handle this substance with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this chemical in laboratory settings.
