:dimethyl 2-chlorobutanedioate
Description:
Dimethyl 2-chlorobutanedioate, with the CAS number 20662-72-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups and the presence of a chlorine atom. It features a butanedioate backbone, which is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid derivative, with two methyl ester groups attached to the carboxyl functionalities. The chlorine atom is located at the second carbon of the butanedioate chain, influencing the compound's reactivity and properties. This substance is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic methyl groups. Dimethyl 2-chlorobutanedioate can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and esterification, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
