CAS 16588-17-3: ethyl 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoate

Description: Ethyl 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. It features a chloro substituent and a nitro group on the aromatic ring, specifically at the 2 and 5 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a yellow to light brown solid or liquid, depending on its purity and form. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Ethyl 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoate is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its reactivity and ability to undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may pose risks such as skin and eye irritation, and it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances.
