Butanoyl chloride, 2-(2-nitrophenoxy)-

Description:

Butanoyl chloride, 2-(2-nitrophenoxy)- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butanoyl group and a 2-nitrophenoxy moiety. It is classified as an acyl chloride, which means it contains a carbonyl group (C=O) directly attached to a chlorine atom. This structure makes it highly reactive, particularly towards nucleophiles, which can lead to the formation of various derivatives through acylation reactions. The presence of the nitro group on the phenoxy ring enhances the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon, facilitating reactions with amines, alcohols, and other nucleophiles. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, indicative of its reactivity and potential hazards. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be corrosive and may cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, are essential when working with this chemical.
