Ethyl 2-chloro-3-methylbenzoate

Description:
Ethyl 2-chloro-3-methylbenzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. It features a chloro substituent at the second position and a methyl group at the third position of the aromatic ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. The presence of the ethyl group enhances its solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions and applications. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, and it is known for its moderate volatility. Ethyl 2-chloro-3-methylbenzoate can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the electrophilic nature of the carbon atom bonded to the chlorine atom. It may also undergo hydrolysis, leading to the formation of the corresponding acid and alcohol. 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 or industrial settings.
