Ethyl 4-chloromethylbenzoate

Description:
Ethyl 4-chloromethylbenzoate, with the CAS number 1201-90-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoates. It features an ethyl ester functional group and a chloromethyl substituent on the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Ethyl 4-chloromethylbenzoate is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where the chloromethyl group can be replaced by various nucleophiles. This property makes it useful in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of more complex molecules. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in pharmaceutical applications. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential, as it may pose health risks if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin.
