2-([1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-yloxy)butanoyl chloride

Description:

2-([1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-yloxy)butanoyl chloride, identified by its CAS number 1160257-70-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butanoyl chloride functional group attached to a biphenyl moiety. This compound features a biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond, providing it with significant aromatic character. The butanoyl chloride portion contributes to its reactivity, particularly in acylation reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis. The presence of the ether linkage (the yloxy group) enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its reactivity and stability. Typically, compounds of this nature are utilized in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, it is likely to be reactive towards nucleophiles, making it an important intermediate in various chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as acyl chlorides can be corrosive and may release harmful gases upon reaction with water or moisture.
